ABOUT
Join us as Danielle Weakley chats to the fantastic Floss Given, live from the UK. Floss is an illustrator, activist, influencer and feminist who this year, released the best-selling book, Women Don’t Owe You Pretty.
Florence is a force to be recokoned with - with her half a million Insta followers, she is a robust new voice on feminism... Her debut memoir has everyone talking ... And it has spent the last 10 weeks in the Uk Sunday Times' bestseller list... Brilliantly titled, WOMEN DON'T OWE YOU PRETTY it will tell you to... “love sex, hate sexism, protect your goddamn energy, life is short, dump them. And that you owe men nothing, least of all pretty.”
What’s not to love and listen to, right? Her debut book explores everything from insecurity projection and refusing to find comfort in other women's flaws, to deciding whether to date or dump them, all the way through to unpacking the male gaze and how it shapes our identity. It is an accessible leap into feminism and a game-changer of a read. Plus, if you follow Floss on Insta you will already know that she is great to listen to.
The book itself is accompanied by Florence's glorious illustrations, so it is not just a thought-provoking read but thoroughly beautiful to page through too. To mark its ten weeks on the UK best-seller lists, Florence launched a #WDOYP10 campaign on her Insta platform where fans are encouraged to submit their own stylised photos of themselves with their copy of the book using the dedicated hashtag, so follow @florencegiven or buy her book in advance of tonight
