She curated the Sunday Times bestselling Feminists Don't

This is the freshest, clearest, most direct, honest and urgent
collection of writings about mental health that I've read. Scarlett
Curtis has curated a stunning variety of voices in the service of
blowing away the foggy vapours of misery, incomprehension, secrecy
and lonely shame that can shroud us. Within the pages there is
searing wit, blinding passion, bleeding emotion and a fantastic,
heroic, glorious refusal to lie down and take it that more than
anything characterises the new energy behind the mental health
movement. Anyone within a few degrees of someone with a mental
health problem - and that means the whole world - should read this
* Stephen Fry *
This is the book I needed when I was younger. May this be a leap
forward in the much needed conversation around mental health *
Jameela Jamil *
I think everyone has moments where they're embarrassed by what
they're feeling and don't want to talk about it. I get it a lot,
and feel unable to tell people I feel down because I know the reply
will be, 'but why? Everything seems to be going right.' Reading
this book made me feel more normal about how I feel sometimes,
whether it's for a reason or just because that's how I woke up that
day. It's a great book; however you're feeling, it will help *
Ed Sheeran *
Noble, raising awareness, opening a conversation and
intersectional * Mary Beard *
Brilliant, hysterical, truthful and real. These essays illuminate
the path for our future female leaders * Reese Witherspoon (on
FEMINISTS DON'T WEAR PINK) *
As a feminist who loves pink, I give this brilliant book of essays
an enthusiastic "YES"! * Mindy Kaling (on FEMINISTS DON'T WEAR
PINK) *
Wonderfully candid, often funny and absolutely necessary, a
triumphant rallying call to young women * Observer *
Pick it up and read one story from your favourite columnist or
actress, but I guarantee you'll end up reading the full,
illuminating collection, and you'll possibly finish it knowing more
about your own personal stance than you imagined * Glamour *
This collection of essays curated by writer Scarlett Curtis is a
call-to-arm that allows us to unpick what it means to be a feminist
in a safe space * Stylist *
We advise placing a copy in the hands of every girl (and guy) you
know * Red Magazine *
