A review by dawnlizreads
Everywoman: One Woman's Truth About Speaking the Truth by Jess Phillips

3.0

For the most part, I listened to the audiobook rather than "read it" - so I sort of a feel like I've missed a fair bit (I only did it that way because Amazon had a deal).

My overwhelming impression is that Philips talks a lot about how much she uses her voice. I realise that is the theme of the book, but it does get a bit wearisome after a while, - particularly when she starts making suggestions about readers themselves can use their voice (nice ideas, but not exactly practical).

But, you could easily argue you'd never make such a critism of a man (which is a key point in the book). Though, I'm can't imagine I'd ever read a book by a sitting male MP whatever offer Amazon was offering to be fair.

If you're feeling fed up of the patriarchy (easily done), then is a rabble rousing and inspiring read. Perhaps don't read it when - like me - you're tired & not in the mood to be inspired.
