For centuries, patriarchal culture has imposed on women the ideals of meekness, sacrificial service and humility, the role of a domestic angel and the need to be "nice". You can't call Helen Lewis's heroines nice. Their names were associated with scandals. Complex, intolerant, inconvenient, sometimes aggressive, sometimes funny - originals, eccentrics, upstarts, they voiced problems with utmost directness and showed the abnormality of the usual, broke stereotypes and forced society to reconsider gender attitudes, changed the way of life, legal norms and state institutions - in the interests of everyone else. Thanks to them, women acquired the rights that they sometimes use without even thinking about it: the right to control their body and voice, their time and income, the right to make mistakes and correct them. Full of vivid and accurate political observations that are both funny and informative, this book is a sober, bitter, funny and fearless history of feminism, its victories and failures, and a manifesto for all those women who are not ready to be "convenient."
