“A sharp manifesto for fighting the patriarchy . . . Brilliant and
electrifying.”
—Booklist, Starred Review
“A vociferous, highly motivational call to arms for the feminist
movement.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Eltahawy’s arguments come through with as much intelligence and
clarity as passion and evocative imagery; they are built on facts
about racism, capitalism, and homophobia, as well as her own and
others’ experiences.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Eltahawy’s book is an enormously valuable accounting of the work
of patriarchy-smashers who are not white or rich or famous.”
—The Progressive
“The fierce Mona Eltahawy is back with the feminist manifesto of
the year. Inspired by #MeToo and more, this book provides readers
with everything they need to launch their latest and greatest
assault on the patriarchy.”
—Ms. Magazine
“Incredibly direct and fiercely intelligent . . . . A book for
those who don’t wait for permission.”
—Marwa Helal, author of Invasive species
“The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls is an incendiary,
searing manifesto by one of the most important feminist activists
of our time. Mona Eltahawy writes with urgency and passion about
women around the world, calling on us to banish self-doubt and
shame—all the traits that so many have been taught from
childhood—and heed her battle cry against the patriarchy. She has
written a wildly inspiring, brave book that commands our
attention.”
—Leta Hong Fincher, author of Betraying Big Brother: The Feminist
Awakening in China
“The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls is shocking, brave,
gloriously unfeminine, and right on time. This global MeToo is the
ultimate and intimate TimesUp for patriarchy. Reading it will free
you, and acting on it will free us all.”
—Gloria Steinem, writer and feminist activist
“Mona Eltahawy reminds me that when I was young we called it
women’s liberation: she is here for your liberation and that of
every woman and girl, from Nunavut to Namibia. The Seven Necessary
Sins for Women and Girls . . . exhorts and advocates for more
confidence, more clarity, more of a sense of value and rights, more
pleasure and joy for women. With its gloriously energetic,
rampaging prose, it also inspires those things.”
—Rebecca Solnit, author of Men Explain Things to Me
“The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls is a clarion call to
action and a declaration of independence from patriarchal
oppression. It is an homage to the girls we were and the girls we
could have been. Mona Eltahawy writes with bracing wit and fierce
intelligence, with unapologetic fury and an expansive heart. In
these pages you will find yourself again and again, and you will
see who you can become. This book is fucking brilliant.”
—Maaza Mengiste, author of The Shadow King
