HAVE YOU EVER…Obsessed over your body’s ‘problem areas’?Killed an hour on the Sidebar of Shame?Wondered whether to try ‘50 Sex Tips to Please Your Man’?Felt worse after doing any of the above?Holly and Rhiannon grew up reading glossy mags and, like most women, thought of them as just a bit of fun. But over time they started to feel uneasy – not just about magazines, but about music videos, page 3, and women being labelled frigid, princesses or tramps.So, following the amazing success of their Vagenda blog, they wrote this book. Welcome to your indispensable guide to the madness of women’s media.

Recensioner i media

"A brilliant expose of women's mags and marketing - laugh-out-loud and painfully funny. This gives me hope for women and for feminism and for fun" -- Jeanette Winterson Guardian "Essential reading for every woman, young and grown-up - a guidebook for reading between the lines...A real romp!" -- Jo Brand "This is great: warm, witty and wise - an antidote to all of the usual nonsense" Jenny Eclair "Angry, opinionated and also waspishly funny. The Vagenda deserves to be a bestseller. Because it's worth it" -- Caroline Sanderson The Bookseller "A great read for women of all ages" -- Claire Heal Sunday Express
