The power of rude : a woman's guide to asserting herself / Rebecca Reid.

Of all the things in the world to worry about, why would anyone put the right for women to be rude at the top of the list? It's a fair question. Happily, there is a very simple answer: I believe that an inability to be rude is one of the biggest issues which still inhibits the equality of women today. This book explores why women are constantly worrying about being polite, even finding themselves in situations they'd rather avoid, for fear of saying the wrong thing. Take the woman who paid for an entire hen do that she wasn't even invited on (because she didn't want to be rude). Or the vegan woman who ate an entire pork chop (because she didn't want to be rude). Rebecca will take you chapter by chapter through dating, family relationships, sex, the workplace, money and customer service, to show you how we can reclaim the word 'rude' and use it to our advantage.
