<p><p>***<br /> <br /></p> <h3>'This powerful, speaking-truth-to-power book is an essential read for everybody who wants to stop feeling clueless and helpless about the impacts of cosumerism, and start doing their part to help create a more sustainable world.' - <b>Layla Saad</b></h3> <br /> <br /> <h3>'The book is a blueprint for anyone who wants to do better' - <i><b>VOGUE</b></i></h3> <br /> <br /> <h3>'SUCH integrity. Aja is no bullsh*t.' <b>- Florence Given</b></h3> <br /> <br /> <h3><i>'Consumed</i> takes us through the hideously complex topic of fashion and sustainability, from its knotty colonial roots to what everyday people can do to uproot those systems, today.' <b>- Yassmin Abdel-Magied</b></h3> <br /> <br /> <b>Aja Barber wants change.</b><br /> <br /> In the 'learning' first half of the book, she will expose you to the endemic injustices in our consumer industries and the uncomfortable history of the textile industry; one which brokered slavery, racism and today's wealth inequality. And how these oppressive systems have bled into the fashion industry and its lack of diversity and equality. She will also reveal how we spend our money and whose pockets it goes into and whose it doesn't (clue: the people who do the <i>actual</i> work) and will tell her story of how she came to learn the truth.<br /> <br /> In the second 'unlearning' half of the book, she will help you to understand the uncomfortable truth behind why you consume the way you do. She asks you to confront the sense of lack you have, the feeling that you are never quite enough and the reasons why you fill the aching void with consumption rather than compassion. And she makes you challenge this power disparity, and take back ownership of it. The less you buy into the consumer culture the more power you have.<br /> <br /> <b>CONSUMED will teach you how to be a citizen not a consumer.</b><br /> <br /> <h3>'an absolute must-read' - <b>Red Magazine</b></h3> <br /> <br /> <h3>'An absolute must-read for any person who wears clothes.' <b>- Orsola de Castro</b></h3> <br /> <br /> <h3>'A hugely compelling exploration of a culture of exploitation and how, together, we can end it.' <b>- Gina Martin</b></h3> <br /> <br /> <h3>'Barber's isn't just a voice we should listen to - it is a voice we MUST listen to.' <b>- Clementine Ford</b></h3> <br /> <br /> <h3>'If you buy one book about sustainable fashion, make it this one. Consumed is an urgent call to action to demand a fashion system that is actually fair for both people and planet, not just Big Fashion billionaires. I adore Aja and I love this brilliant book.' - <b>Venetia La Manna</b></h3></p>

<p>The memoir that will make you realise you complete you" I'm about to turn 40, have no boyfriend and can't be sure of one any time I haven't been on a date in three years. I'm tired of Tinder, bored of Bumble - I've even been ejected by eHarmony, who, last time I logged on, told me it couldn't find me a single match. "There used to be a well-known statistic that a woman is more likely to be killed by a terrorist than marry after the age of 40. But it is now thought that single women without children are some of the happiest people in the population.In this raw, hilarious and beguilingly honest memoir, Self-Contained explores what happens when you chose to exist not in a partnership, but as a self-partner instead. Emma shares what it's like to turn up at a child's birthday celebration alone and how it feels to be the 'uneven number' at the dinner party, but she celebrates the freedom of being accountable only to herself.Self-Contained captures life when you are a single figure, not a double digit. Perhaps it's time we asked ourselves if the happy ending we're all searching for is the moment we realize we complete ourselves.</p>

<p>WOMEN DON'T OWE YOU PRETTY will tell you to...<br />
love sex, hate sexism,<br />
protect your goddamn energy,<br />
life is short, dump them,<br />
And that you owe men nothing, least of all pretty.<br />
Florence's debut book will explore all progressive corners of the feminist conversation; from insecurity projection and refusing to find comfort in other women's flaws, to deciding whether to date or dump them, all the way through to unpacking the male gaze and how it shapes our identity.<br />
WOMEN DON'T OWE YOU PRETTY is an accessible leap into feminism, for people at all stages of their journey who are seeking to reshape and transform the way they view themselves. In a world that tells women we're either not enough or too much, it's time we stop directing our anger and insecurities onto ourselves, and start fighting back to re-shape the toxic structures of our patriarchal society.<br />
Florence's book will help you to tackle and challenge the limiting narrative you have been bombarded with your whole life, and determine feminism on your own terms. After all, you are the love of your own life.</p>
