THE NEW BOOK FROM DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE GUILTY FEMINIST Six
Conversations We're Scared to Have - from The Guilty Feminist will face up to one of the
biggest challenges in feminism right now - how we can have difficult conversations well how we
can disagree well how we can build bridges and change minds including our own. In Deborah's
own words ' Six Conversations... is a book I simply have to write. This is a dialogue I've
been having with those I trust in private for a long time. This is a conversation I need to be
brave enough to have in public. I am part of a movement that has called Time's Up on top-down
power at the expense of those who have been used and discarded. I want to live in a world where
people in marginalised groups have a real voice that enacts fast change. I also speak as
someone whose formative years were spent in a high control group where people rarely said what
they meant. We said what we needed to to avoid punishment and shunning which meant our words
often didn't match our thoughts and actions. I know what that fosters and where it ends. I feel
compelled to look at the way our society is changing and look at how we can mature together and
build better stronger more usable bridges more quickly to make the world a genuinely better
place for those who desperately need it to be. And isn't that all of us right now?' Praise
