Can I Speak to Someone in Charge?

Product Information

The letter on feminism is particularly good here, again rather than focusing on FGM, the continuing pay gap, the big issues we still face, so many feminists seem more content to freeze others out of the movement, knock them down as 'not good enough' feminists rather than seeking to bring them further into the fold.

If you can’t pay it all in one go you can pay what you want, when you want, but until the bill is paid off in full Sky will not reinstate your services. The casual brush lettered title and side copy make for a fresh, dynamic cover and reflect the subjects she discusses in her pertinent posts. Her suggestions regarding alterations in schooling and fashion sizing are intelligent, but overall her attempt to be a normal girl next door doesn't translate. She unpicks the validity of notions such as ‘the thigh gap’; questions the quotidian scrutiny by the media; ponders the etymology of the term ‘plus size’ and considers our unshakeable obsession with dieting, while wondering why some of us are still crying in changing rooms. Because it told me things that I needed to hear when I was that age, even at the age I am now where I still struggle with some of these issues.

It’s where we could benefit from a simple way of marking a post or to guage how mainstream any point of view is. Yet, there are other political messages in here too, and not just in the chapter addressed to Donald Trump. Many of the topics focused on - make up, thinspiration, page 3, the sidebar of shame - are about how women, rather than seeking to build each other up, focusing on shaming and belittling each other.

I probably should have linked the surnames but it's not exactly uncommon, so I hadn't even considered it until she mentioned her famous father while writing a letter to the person who catfished her.

I hope this book will speak to a range of women, and men actually, I hope it will make people laugh, but more importantly I hope it will open people's eyes to the fact that we've got a lot to do if we want to make growing up in a good and kind world a possibility for our daughters. This book is definitely aimed at a younger crowd than I but I enjoyed listening to her view points and she had me (at least smiling) at her humor in places. But overall what Emily captures best is so many of the insecurities and threats that girls and women face these days. She achieves the perfect mix of funny letters, sad letters, light-hearted letters, and letters focused on serious social issues. Said underlying message is, of course, centred around feminism, and the fact women in today's society are still not truly equal to their male counterparts, in areas ranging from the fact they are often paid less, to the fact they are expected to spend twice as long on personal grooming.I think the epistolary technique works, and Emily has a direct, chatty style that is really clear and refreshing. The result is that the reader can go straight from feeling emotional and unnerved to laughing aloud, such as when 'Dear the Person Who Catfished Me', a serious account of a teenage Clarkson's experiences of being tricked into an online 'friendship' with someone who was not who they said they were, is followed by 'Dear Prosecco', a humorous account of many a drunken adventure.
