Polly Vernon

*Perfect for fans of the Guilty Feminist*Hot (adj.) : (Of a person) Attractive a hot chickFem-i-n-ist (n.) : A person who supports feminism, the movement that advocates equal rights for womenPolly Vernon, Grazia columnist, Times feature writer (hair-flicker, Brazilian-waxer, jeans obsessive, outrageous flirt) presents a brave new perspective on feminism. Drawing on her dedicated, life-long pursuit of hotness - having dismissed many of the rules on good feminism at some point in the early 90s - shell teach you everything you ever wanted to know about being a feminist when you care about how you look. When part of your brain is constantly monologuing on fashion. When you check out your own reflection in every reflective surface. When your depilation practices are pretty much out of control. When you just really want to be fancied.Hot Feminist is based on a principle of non-judgment (because theres enough already), honesty about how often we mess this up, and empowerment through looks. Part memoir, part road map, its a rolling, raucous rejection of all those things were convinced we shouldnt think / wear/ feel/ say/ buy/ want - and a celebration of all the things we can.It is modern feminism, with style, without judgment

"The book I didnt know I desperately needed." - LORRAINE KELLY"Witty and wise - How the Female Body Works is a wonderful blend of science and humour. I laughed, I learned, and I felt seen. A must-read for anyone in a female body - and anyone who knows one." - Dr Charlotte Gribbin, Consultant Aesthetic & Regenerative Medicine PhysicianTechnically, were close, my body and I. We go everywhere together. And yet, I know little about how it actually works...How much do any of us really know about our bodies? We know, for example, that women live longer than men, but why? We are told our brains are better at multi-tasking, but is that true? What exactly are hormones? Like: what do they look like? Whats the point of PMS? Why are women twice as likely as men to develop Alzheimers? And whats the deal with things like osteoporosis - why are our bones so damn fragile?For years, award-winning journalist Polly Vernon drove her body around like it was a car - and she had zero interest in the manual. This book charts her mission to lift the bonnet, have a good old rummage and find out whats really going on. She talks to neuroscientists, academics, medics, midwives, gynaes, psychologists and physios. People who really know their stuff.And so here it is, THE complete guide to the female body - head to toe, inside and out, physical and emotional - with reassuring advice on how to mitigate the ways it makes life trickier, along with notes of celebration for the ways it helps us out.Full of facts and stories that will blow your mind, this is a book youll want to pass on to every woman (and man) you know.
