Rezensionen

I love the way Dabiri writes. She delves into such important, dense and globally sprawling topics with the utmost intelligence, both academic and emotional, while still making me feel like I've just had my mind opened over a drink with a sweary mate in a bar. I've read a lot about body shaming, beauty, the pressures that women in particular, but all humans in general, face. Nothing else has tackled the issue with such depth of historic, social and economic inquiry. What's more, few books on this topic have made me feel as though I have the means by which to break free and question the structures of shame, while simultaneously embracing the joy that rituals of beauty, embellishment and glamorous gossiping can also bring

Fascinating, educational, personal, humble and engaging. I urge you all to read it!

Groundbreaking . . . scintillating

Groundbreaking . . . I would urge everyone to read it

Game-changing

Impactful . . . a manifesto for meaningful and lasting change. And trust us, once you've picked it up and started reading, you won't want to put it down

Essential . . . accessible and yet so full of scholarship. Witty, insightful, a must-read

Emma is once-in-a-generation clever
