Book Description
When Dr Joan Arakkal chooses to specialise in orthopaedics while training in India, a field traditionally occupied by men, she slots into the world of bones with relative ease. But when her career takes her to the UK, and then Australia, she encounters the ‘bonemen’ – a boy’s club whose members are easily identified in the hospital corridors by their loud voices and self-assured swagger, who wield a stranglehold on orthopaedics. Joan is totally unprepared for the obstacles and prejudices she encounters – but the tables are turned when she suffers a health scare of her own, which ultimately gives her the perspective she needs to speak and fight without fear. A provocative reflection on the discrimination and sexism entrenched in the surgical community, and particularly the world of orthopaedics, Slice Girls shines light on a surgical path that is made needlessly challenging for women, and finds that while women are ready for surgery, it forces the question: is surgery ready for women?

DON'T PISS OFF THE GINGER! Ginger: That's me. It's more than just a name or hair color. It's in every cell and fiber of my being, and right now it’s manifesting as some serious road rage! The most attractive, arrogant, alpha male a$$hole I've ever set eyes on has just tried to run me off the road. Then he has the nerve to flip me off! As if that weren't bad enough, he actually rolled down his window - not to apologize - but to ask me out on a date!!! Of all the…! I swear, if I weren't busy trying to resurrect the family bakery, and save myself, and my four sisters, in the process, I would show him the meaning of Pissed Off Ginger! If I never see that a$$hole again, it’ll be much too soon! I hate him. Ben: Gingers! Every. Damn. Time. They are my weakness, and I've (almost literally) just run into the ginger of my dreams.

What Would the Spice Girls Do?
Author: Lauren Bravo
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1473564115
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
The perfect gift for the Spice Girls fan in your life! ‘Lauren Bravo is one of my very favourite writers.’ Dolly Alderton 'A joyous and energetic celebration of girlhood, friendship and pop culture. If you have ever sung into the lid of a can of Impulse body spray, you need to read this.' Daisy Buchanan The words 'girl power' conjure vivid memories of short skirts and platform boots. But it wasn't just about the look, it was about feminism. The Spice Girls gave a generation their first glimpse of the power of friendship, of staying true to yourself, of sheer bloody-mindedness. And the girl power generation went on to kick-start a new conversation around gender equality. We may have grown up asking What Would the Spice Girls Do?, but their particular brand of feminism is as relevant today as it was twenty years ago – we still need that fun and fearlessness, we still need accessible and all-embracing equality... we still need a zig-a-zig-ah. ‘The Spice Girls’ arrival on the pop scene marked the gateway to a modern form of feminism, all dressed up as a riotously good time.’ Stylist As featured in Elle magazine's Best Feminist Gift Books
