SHORTLISTED FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY BOOK AWARDS
If you’re thinking, ‘Jess who?’ then I’m glad that there was something about ‘Everywoman’ and ‘truth’ that caught your eye.
Or you might already know me as that gobby MP who has a tendency to shout about the stuff I care about. Because I’m a woman with a cause, I have been called a feminazi witch, a murderer and threatened with rape. The internet attracts a classy crowd.
So, speaking the truth isn’t always easy but I believe it’s worth it. And I want you to believe it too. The truth can be empowering, the truth can lead to greater equality, and the world would be incredibly boring if we let all of those people who allegedly know everything, say everything.
By demanding to be heard, by dealing with our imposter syndrome, by being cheerleaders, doers not sayers, creating our own networks and by daring to believe that we can make a difference, we can.
We’re women and we’re kick-ass. And that’s the truth.
‘Jess Phillips writes like she talks: brilliantly. Her humour and passion shine through every page. Loved it.’ ROBERT WEBB
'Joyfully candid and very funny.' Guardian
'Jess Phillips knows the truth . . . and here she shows how scary and sad as well as joyful and liberating the answers can be.' Damian Barr
'Everywoman has all the laughs [of Lena Dunham and Caitlin Moran] with a backbone of real glinting anger . . .there were so many funny and wise things on each page that whittling them down into a review seemed impossible.' Julie Birchill, Spectator
'As fresh as mountain air amid the Westminster tumbleweed.' Metro
'Arresting.' Observer

Everywoman
Gives an interesting insight into the woman we see on TV in parliament, and read on Twitter :)
Honest and down to earth anecdotes about her past work, inspirations and challenges.
A modern day feminist perspective.

Bab-it was awesome
A clear-eyed analysis of how to get stuff done and why we all need to continue to fight to make our voices heard. Jess’s recounting of the online vitriol she has received was powerful and shocking in equal measure. Cracking.

She's alright, that Jess Phillips
This is probably a very good book. But listening to Jess Phillips narrating really brought it to life and made it exceptional.

Really enjoyable and thought provoking
Really enjoyable. A person I knew little about before reading this, save for seeing her on the news a couple of times.
A really engaging, enlightening, angering, angry and empowering read. I'm so glad there are women like this one out in the world.
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes to spend time in the company of intelligent women.

Absolutely wonderful
This is the best piece of personal and political writing I've seen in years. I might be a bit in love with Jess after this, and definitely in awe of her. A wonderful woman and a great storyteller

Excellent encouragement from my favourite politician
What an incredible human being. Such insight into how to respond to the victims of domestic abuse and many other useful topics. A good soul is what you are Jess Phillips. Thankyou for your valuable service.
