The Power of Rude

In The Power of Rude, journalist Rebecca Reid explores why women are constantly worrying about being polite, even finding themselves in situations they'd rather avoid, for fear of saying the wrong thing. Take the woman who paid for an entire hen do that she wasn't even invited on (because she didn't want to be rude). Or the vegan woman who ate an entire pork chop (because she didn't want to be rude).

With irreverence, wit and a practical approach, Rebecca will take you chapter by chapter through dating, family relationships, sex, the workplace, money and customer service, to show you how we can reclaim the word "rude" and use it to our advantage.
