Women Don't Owe You Pretty

Writer and activist Florence Given tells you how feminism is going to ruin your life (in the best way possible).

A vibrantly illustrated primer on modern feminism for the Instagram generation encouraging us to question the insidious narratives that hold us back from self-acceptance, self-love, and our own power.

Women Don't Owe You Pretty challenges conventional beauty standards and societal expectations placed on women. This thought-provoking work examines how women navigate pressures to conform to arbitrary aesthetic ideals and reclaim agency over their own bodies and choices. Through insightful analysis and cultural commentary, the author dismantles the notion that female worth is tied to appearance. Perfect for readers seeking feminist perspectives that question ingrained assumptions, this book offers both validation and intellectual framework for rejecting beauty culture's demands—an essential read for anyone interested in gender studies, self-acceptance, and cultural criticism.

With her refreshingly audacious voice and unmistakable art style, Florence Given explores all corners of the conversation, from overcoming insecurity, projection, and the tendency to find comfort in other women's flaws to how to recognize and fight against the male gaze and other toxic cultural baggage, and embrace sex and body positivity. Women Don't Owe You Pretty is here to remind us that everyone is valuable as they are and we owe the world nothing, least of all pretty.
