Publisher: Borgerhoff & Lamberigts
Good Girls Go to Heaven, Bad Girls Go Everywhere Else
A passionate plea for female disobedience
With a healthy dose of criticism and humour
Anouck Meier’s previous book Choose Yourself Before You’re Dead sold 10.000 copies and was on the bestseller list for 10 weeks in Belgium
One is not born, but rather becomes a Good Girl. From an early age, women learn everything they shouldn’t be: angry, jealous, greedy, ambitious, lazy, selfish, horny. The seven original deadly sins have become an invisible corset that keeps women in check. In Disobedience Will Save You, Anouck Meier shreds that oppressive straitjacket with her sharp pen, feminist truth bombs, and a generous dose of humour. From witch hunts to the mental load, from crab mentality to precarious pension plans, from muzzles to size zero: the system is persistent, subtle and everywhere. This book is a playful invitation to claim more space and to live life to the fullest.
