The most important debut you'll read this year - from Twitter sensation Titania McGrath
In WOKE, Titania McGrath demonstrates how everybody can play their part in the pursuit of social justice. As a millennial icon on the forefront of online activism, Titania is uniquely placed to guide her readers through the often bewildering array of terminology and concepts that constitute twenty-first-century 'wokeness'. These new ideas often leave the general public bemused, particularly if they don't read the Guardian.

Being woke is actually much easier than people think. As Titania demonstrates, anyone can be an activist. By simply adding a rainbow flag to your Facebook profile, or calling out an elderly person who doesn't understand what 'non-binary' means, you can change the world for the better. Indeed, social media has now made it possible to show how virtuous you are without having to do anything at all.

Timely and indispensable, Titania's step-by-step guide will help you to become the woke person you need to be in an increasingly progressive world. In a non-patronising manner, Titania will explain why you are wrong about everything and how to become more like her.

Titania McGrath is a radical intersectionalist poet committed to feminism, social justice and armed peaceful protest. A regular on the live-slam poetry scene, Titania regularly performs at arts festivals, deconsecrated churches and genderqueer spiritual retreats. Her unique blend of art and activism has been variously described as 'inspiring', 'groundbreaking' and 'woke as fuck'.

Reviews for Woke: A Guide to Social Justice

Absolutely brilliant . . . has revealed the malign hilarity of woke culture * New Criterion * Titania McGrath mercilessly satires the Left's online umbrage brigade, the permanently offended, those who have taken on the role of policing thoughts and words to the point of absurdity * The Herald * Hilarious -- Camilla Long * Sunday Times * Outrageous and hilarious * Irish Independent * The funniest spoof Twitter account bar none. Titania's feed is a delight -- Charles Moore * Evening Standard * She pricks pomposity and tempers moral certitude with a hint of doubt; in short, she keeps us honest. And as a lover of satire, I treasure anyone who can hold a mirror up with wit and intelligence to the more sanctimonious and narrow-minded elements of the left that bother and suffocate people, even me -- Shappi Khorsandi * Independent * Absolutely hilarious * Piers Morgan * The latest genius twist in Britain's long tradition of satirical spoof . . . Brilliantly funny take on a generation obsessed with gender fluidity, sexism, stereotyping, fat-shaming, no platforming . . . -- Virginia Blackburn * Daily Express * Hilarious . . . perfectly captures the chiding, self-righteous, intolerant, joyless tone of the woke Stasi -- Janice Turner * The Times * Hilarious * Evening Standard * Just as Bridget Jones was the embodiment of the anxiety-ridden Nineties feminist, a creation whose diary entries encapsulated all our hopes, fears and failures, so Titania McGrath is her millennial successor, a girl every bit as lost and confused, every bit as accurately observed - and equally, catastrophically, hilarious -- Sarah Vine * Daily Mail * Why Titania is perfect for our times . . . Titania is a creation of genius . . . Finally, the plodding, establishment satire of recent years might have finally been subject to the disruption it has so badly needed . . . not just funny, but fatally accurate and true -- Douglas Murray * Unherd * The book everyone's talking about * The Times * As a straight white man I don't think I was allowed to read the @TitaniaMcGrath book. But I did anyway, and I'm here to recommend it. Funniest thing I've ever read. Brilliant * Daniel Sloss * Titania McGrath is a genius * Spectator *
