About this listen

“I am afraid of being the disruptive woman. And of not being disruptive enough. I am afraid. But I am doing it anyway.”

In this vivid and powerful collection of essays, Emilie Pine boldly confronts the past to better understand herself, her relationships and her role in society. She speaks to the business of living as a woman in the 21st century - its extraordinary pain and its extraordinary joy. Tackling subjects like addiction, fertility, feminism and sexual violence, and where these subjects intersect with legislation, these beautifully written essays are at one fascinating and funny, intimate and searingly honest.

Devastatingly poignant and profoundly wise - and joyful against the odds - Notes to Self offers a portrait not just of its author but of a whole generation.

Meh...

Narrated beautifully and it started out quite lovely but then spiralled into a self-pity party and I'm left frustrated at the end of the book. Surely not every single problem can stem from the fact that we're women? It must be nice to find a single, simple, general cause to blame for all our issues - while simultaneously absolving ouselves of any responsibility for our life. This is not feminism to me.
