*Elle*
Need inspiring? Do It Like A Woman brings together stories of
kick-ass women from around the world who have shown great heroism
and bravery. It's rousing and immensely readable
*Good Housekeeping*
[An] immersive piece of investigative journalism... The pleasure of
Do It Like A Woman is that it's about other women - their
campaigns, their political interventions, their stories. In a world
overstuffed with tedious
me-myself-and-I-as-hero-of-my-own-narrative books, Criado-Perez has
had the good sense to deliver an overview that grasps the essential
impetus of feminism - as collective, connective action by a
diversity of women whose voices are as brave and informed as
Criado-Perez's. Criado-Perez shares some of the clarity and in
insight of the young [Shulamith] Firestone
*New Statesman*
Eloquent and powerful... essential
*Irish Independent*
Compelling... a book full of fascinating stories and facts
*Prospect*
Well researched and packs a punch
*Sunday Herald*
Striking... It is refreshing to read a feminist work informed by
lives far removed from that of the author. There's no doubt that
she has researched widely. Like any woman who is vocal in the
public sphere, Criado-Perez has been obsessively threatened. She
doesn't dwell on the experience, instead using her platform to shed
light on the lives of others. There is bravery in that, too'
*Guardian*
If all the campaigning rhetoric has left you cold, you can relight
the radical fire in your soul with this blisteringly essential
manifesto. Eminently readable and deeply inspiring

needed? Sadly, yes - the amount of abuse the author has received
online for her feminist beliefs is testament to that

A powerful and inspiring read
*Manchester Evening News*
Like Sheryl Sandberg's feminist handbook Lean In, but without the
corporate focus, it's an inspiring read, celebrating game-changers
across the globe
*Scotsman*
The big message: change the world
*Diva Magazine*
The book honours other women who are paving the way in their chosen
fields - and doing it like women
*Ham & High*
The women featured are varied... Their stories come alive through
minutiae. Criado-Perez allows her interviewees to speak at length
and for the most part their stories are told in their own words...
It is refreshing to read a feminist work informed by lives far
removed from that of the author'
*Guardian*
The outspoken activist and campaigner, Caroline Criado-Perez
reveals the stories of women's lives all around the world... These
women are proving to the world and themselves that a single step
can bring powerful change
