| 1 | Feminists Don’t Wear Pink: Amazing women on what the F-word means to them | 2018 | Dolly Alderton | Buy |
Feminists Don’t Wear Pink (and Other Lies) is a 2018 anthology published in partnership with the Girl Up campaign, a United Nations initiative. The book collects personal essays from a range of women, including actors, activists, journalists, and authors, each writing about feminism in their own terms. Dolly Alderton is one of many contributors, alongside names like Emma Watson, Scarlett Curtis (who edited the volume), and Saoirse Ronan.
Alderton’s contribution fits with the themes she has written about elsewhere: identity, womanhood, and the gap between how women are expected to behave and how they actually live. The anthology as a whole is aimed at a younger audience and takes an accessible, personal approach to feminist ideas rather than an academic one.
