Book of the Week: You Sad Feminist

Winner of the Poetry Society's SLAMbassadors national youth slam in 2011, featured in The Guardian lists of 'inspiring young feminists of 2014', and more recently, a TEDx speaker on Creative Minds, Megan Beech is back with her second poetry collection, You Sad Feminist. 

Having lived with mental illness for the last six years of her life, Beech, a performance poet, probes the power and vulnerability that comes from being a depressed, aspirant, intelligent and flawed young woman in 21st Century Tory Britain. 

She dedicates her second poetry collection to "anyone struggling to be the protagonist of their own life [and] for all the girls beneath glass ceilings who refuse to stop throwing stones".
