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.

Not a story... reality in all its glory

Thank you for articulating experiences I have had for years. I am happy to take the stigma and flack for no longer being silent. I will fight like a girl and hopefully teach my daughter to do so too!

A reflective and informative read

I really liked this book. It highlighted a lot of things within society. As well as made me reflect on some of my own experiences.
I would recommend this book for all.

Genuine, passionate and thought provoking

I won't lie, when this book was suggested to me by my wife I cringed a bit inside. 'I'll just get through it and then I can say I listened and go back to something good' I thought to myself. To say that I was surprised by the book is an understatement. Clementine has poured herself and her not misplaced anger into this book but still managed to keep it funny and not ranting. I'm pretty much in the sweet spot of the privileged white male and, as I suspect is true of many in my situation, I had never seriously thought about the equality of society and had certainly never looked at it through this lens. What was both remarkable and shocking to me was that I have started to see examples of many of the traits and behaviours talked about in this book in day to day life. It has really made me think and think hard about something I would previously have largely dismissed as it wasn't obviously present to me in my day to day life (although I was also wrong about that). Clementine's narration is excellent, passionate, irreverent, funny and not ranty. I am hugely pleased that I listened to this as it has made me really question what I had previously taken for granted. By the end of the book I found myself not, as I had assumed at the start, feeling a sense of relief and diving back into my normal material but rather looking for the audible version of her new book. This is a good book and I would strongly urge other men to listen to it.

Flaming the feminist fire

This year has led me to an “awakening” of sorts of the patriarchy and the way women are treated in society. It’s been a pretty confusing and depressing time as I come to grips with reality BUT finding Clementine and reading this book has helped guide me through this process.
Would highly recommend, especially to those starting their feminist journey.

A must read

Fantastic book - a must read! Enlightening even for someone like me who has identified as a feminist for more than 30 years.

Read it!

This book is thought/experience crystallised to a sharp edge that slices to the heart of misogyny and it's trappings for women. This should be compulsory reading material for all, especially those who play a role in our institutions, legal systems, education and leadership of any kind. Sit with how uncomfortable it makes you feel - sit with our reality. This is just one privileged voice, but there are so many more out there that we should be listening to as well.

Superb!!

A great book giving words to frustrations that have been felt by me virtually my whole life, and I'm guessing by most other women too.

A must read. Brave and sobering.

Clementine Ford tells the truth and does not hide behind big words. Brutal and honest call for arms for every woman out there. Loved it.
