About this listen

This new edition includes an extra chapter on the #MeToo Movement and how women are standing up and speaking out and reclaiming control over the stories told about their lives.

'A friend recently told me that the things I write are powerful for her because they have the effect of making her feel angry instead of just empty. I want to do this for all women and young girls - to take the emptiness and numbness they feel about being a girl in this world and turn it into rage and power. I want to teach all of them how to Fight Like A Girl.' (Clementine Ford)

Online sensation, fearless feminist heroine and scourge of trolls and misogynists everywhere, Clementine Ford is a beacon of hope and inspiration to thousands of Australian women and girls. Her incendiary debut Fight Like A Girl is an essential manifesto for feminists new, old and soon-to-be, and exposes just how unequal the world continues to be for women. Crucially, it is a call to arms for all women to rediscover the fury that has been suppressed by a society that still considers feminism a threat.

Fight Like A Girl will make you laugh, cry and scream. But above all it will make you demand and fight for a world in which women have real equality and not merely the illusion of it.

The concepts in this book should be well understood by all humans, should have been dismantled ages ago, should never have existed in the first place. But sadly, we’ve all been steeped in the toxic idea that women exist to serve men, should be controlled by men, and do not deserve the same level of respect as men, or any respect whatsoever in the minds of many - including the majority of women. Women are taught from the cradle that it is their duty to please men in every way (from behavior to appearance), to diminish themselves/their accomplishments, so as to never challenge the supposed superiority of men. Women are expected to be grateful for the attention & approval of men, to seek it above all else, to compete with other women for it (divide and conquer). The patriarchy would like women’s attention to be completely claimed by this horseshite, to remain distracted and discouraged from banding together, supporting each other, reaching our fullest potential, and creating amazing things in the world. Take a very long, deep look at whether you are perpetuating this - in your own life, and/or the lives of others.

I recommend this book to all women. This eloquently written book has helped me to to find my voice, when for so long I lacked the ability to fully articulate what I felt and experienced in the world. Thank you for all the other Clementines fighting the endless battle for equality while dealing with the deranged spotlight cast on them for doing so.

Phenomenally heartbreaking and rousing!

I really enjoyed this book. I never thought of myself as a feminist and realized that my view was because I never really took the time to look up the term - feminism, noun: the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. What woman doesn't want that? If you say 'me', it's because you probably are privileged or protected enough to have not been treated as less than equal. Please don't take that as an insult. I definitely do not intend it to be so. I grew up much like Clementine Ford, in a household which treated each individual with equal love.

The main feeling I had during this book was thankfulness. I am thankful that people like Clementine Ford have the strength and abilities to do the kind of social work needed to fight for the liberation and equality of all. I am also very thankful for the excellent childhood I had full of a family and friends network of people who appreciated me as a person and didn't treat me as less than equal.

Great reader and view of life
