Description
*CATCH THE TV ADAPTATION OF SHRILL ON BBC3 NOW*''Women are told, from birth, that it''s our job to be small: physically small, small in our presence, and small in our impact on the world. We''re supposed to spend our lives passive, quiet and hungry. I want to obliterate that expectation...''Guardian columnist Lindy West wasn''t always loud. It''s difficult to believe she was once a nerdy, overweight teen who wanted nothing more than to be invisible. Fortunately for women everywhere, along the road she found her voice - and how she found it! That cripplingly shy girl who refused to make a sound, somehow grew up to be one of the loudest, shrillest, most fearless feminazis on the internet, making a living standing up for what''s right instead of what''s cool.In Shrill, Lindy recounts how she went from being the butt of people''s jokes, to telling her own brand of jokes - ones that carry with them with a serious message and aren''t at someone else''s expense. She reveals the obstacles and stereotyping she''s had to overcome to make herself heard, in a society that doesn''t think women (especially fat women and feminists) are or can be funny. She also tackles some of the most burning issues of popular culture today, taking a frank and provocative look at racism, oppression, fat-shaming, twitter-trolling and even rape culture, unpicking the bullshit and calling out unpalatable truths with conviction, intelligence and a large dose of her trademark black humour.''Lindy West is an essential (and hilarious) voice for women. Her talent and bravery have made the Internet a place I actually want to be.'' Lena Dunham
