Everywoman by Jess Phillips

One Woman's Truth About Speaking the Truth

A punchy mix of memoir and manifesto, this book follows a straight-talking British MP from a working-class background as she charts her path from women’s refuge worker to Parliament, exposing sexism, class snobbery, and political complacency along the way. With blunt humor and hard-won insight, it shares stories from the front lines of tackling domestic abuse and inequality, demystifies how power really works, and offers practical encouragement for ordinary people—especially women—to speak up, get involved, and change things without waiting for permission.
