Description
New York Times bestselling author Holly Whitaker offers a groundbreaking look at alcohol and a radical new path to sobriety in this unflinching examination of how our drinking culture hurts women.
Our society's obsession with drinking is a complex issue, with alcohol companies targeting women in a way similar to the tobacco industry's successful targeting of men. Whitaker's journey to sobriety reveals the insidious role alcohol plays in our culture and the lives of women, particularly in the ways that recovery systems are patriarchal and ineffective.
This memoir is a powerful exploration of the need for a new approach to sobriety, one that prioritises the unique needs of women and other historically oppressed people. With its emerging feminism and growing awareness of the harm caused by alcohol, Whitaker's story is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to challenge the status quo and find a healthier way to live.
