Arts & Photography,History & Criticism,Subjects within Art Women Don’t Owe You Pretty: The debut book from Florence Given by Florence Given ‘THE BEAUTY MYTH’ FOR THE INSTAGRAM GENERATIONWomen Don’t Owe You Pretty is the ultimate book for anyone who wants to challenge the out-dated narratives supplied to us by the patriarchy.Through Florence’s story you will learn how to protect your energy, discover that you are the love of your own life, and realise that today is a wonderful day to dump them.Florence Given is here to remind you that you owe men nothing, least of all pretty.WARNING: CONTAINS EXPLICIT CONTENT (AND A LOAD OF UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTHS). THE FEMINIST BOOK EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT.‘An incredible mouthpiece for modern intersectional feminism.’ – Glamour‘A fearless book.‘ – Cosmopolitan ‘A hugely influential young woman.’ – Woman’s Hour ‘Rallying, radical and pitched perfectly for her generation.‘ – Evening Standard
- I was previously visiting London for my birthday & I was stuck with my now ex boyfriend who was more like a son (yes, I dumped him). And I was keeping up with Floss’ insta stories and feeling like I related to everything she said, especially “stop raising him he’s not your son”. Whilst walking down the road, Floss and her friend actually turned the corner and walked past me. I took that as a sign, dumped him and now I’m living my best life reading her book!
This book has been somewhat empowering. Florence Given has made some feminist ideas digestible. However, it is digestible for white, middle-class, pretty women whilst disguising itself as being intersectional. Florence has taken it upon herself to be the voice of many and speak up on issues that she has never experienced herself such as disability and fatphobia. Her approach and the words she uses to define these experiences can be extremely damaging to people who live the reality of what she is merely theorising. In one section, she has created “privilege checklists” which are too overly simplified. The disability checklist only looks at disability from a visible perspective and completely ignores those who suffer with invisible disabilities which is invalidating and trivialising for those with hidden disabilities. I really wish that Florence Given would learn to pass the mic. If you want to feel really, truly empowered then I recommend What a Time to Be Alone by Chidera Eggerue.
