Inflamed - Raj Patel

A work of exhilarating scope and relevance ... What a rare and powerful experience to feel a book in your very body' Naomi Klein

Invisible women - Caroline Criado Perez

Imagine a world where...


* Your phone is too big for your hand

* Your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body

* In a car accident you are 47% more likely to be injured.


If any of that sounds familiar, chances are you're a woman.
