Jess Philips also speaks in a simple way. She says that, ''According to the Flesch-Kincaid test (grading of readability)'' her parliament speeches ''are at a level that would be understood by the average 16-17-year-old.'' For her, politicians need to talk to the people in a simple language that they can understand and relate to. What other people would see as a weakness, Phillips sees as her great strength. ''So much of politics – so much of everything – is dominated by men saying things'', she writes at one point. She is doing her best to counter this, with her loud voice and this energetic book.
For more non-theoretical feminism, have a look at [[How to Build a Girl by Caitlin Moran]]. Or glance back at the second wave with [[The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir]]. You might also enjoy [[Know Your Place: Essays on the Working Class by the Working Class by Nathan Connolly]]. From rather further to the right of the political spectrum, we can recommend [[Post-Truth: The New War on Truth and How to Fight Back by Matthew d'Ancona]].
