One of Indigo’s Most Anticipated Canadian Books • One of CBC Books’ Works of Canadian Nonfiction to Check Out This Fall “This is a fantastic book. A must-read for anyone who needs reminding about why we have a long way to go towards a more equal world, or simply that we’re not in this alone.” —Eliza Reid, bestselling author of Secrets of the Sprakkar: Iceland’s Extraordinary Women and How They Are Changing the World “This book is personal—to me and every woman who’s ever felt the sting of being sidelined by sexism. . . . What She Said is frank, funny, and unfailingly honest. . . . Renzetti’s insightful and sensitive commentary on real-world discrimination validates the last generation and will, most importantly, inspire the next. What She Said should be mandatory reading!” —Lisa LaFlamme, journalist “What She Said is as honest as it is painful and smart. . . . [This book] made me weep, laugh, and ultimately helped me exhale.” —Kathleen Wynne, former premier of Ontario “Reading What She Said is like sitting down with your smartest girlfriend to chat about the lived experience of women: sexual assault and harassment, reproductive rights, pay inequity, period and menopause shaming, intimate partner violence, the caregiving load, and, unfortunately, so much more.That is this book, which I highly recommend—and not just for women. What She Said is very good company and so important.” —Marsha Lederman, bestselling author of Kiss the Red Stairs: The Holocaust, Once Removed
