About this Event
Join us as we welcome Florence Given to Waterstones Nottingham in celebration of her new book, Women Living Deliciously.
Women Living Deliciously wants us to fall in love with our lives. It will help women uncover the sense of awe and wonder that has been buried by the layers of shame, perfectionism and self-objectification that get piled on us by the patriarchy. For too long we have internalised the belief that our bodies are things to be looked at - instead of lived in. That it's embarrassing to fully express ourselves. That we cannot trust the parts of ourselves that are so full of desire.
This book will unpack the many barriers women face when trying to access joy so that they can discover the delicious life that's theirs for the taking.
International-bestselling author Florence Given wants to restore your lust for life and your sense of agency, giving you the courage and permission to inch closer to the wildly expansive life that you FULLY deserve - not in the future, not when you're perfect, not when you're prettier - but right now.
Florence will discuss her new book before an audience Q&A session and book signing.
Florence Given grew up in Plymouth and started her studies at Plymouth College of Art, before moving to London in 2017 to study at the London College of Fashion. She has garnered a considerable social media following with her bold prints accompanied by short feminist essays that confront attitudes towards women and their bodies.
Given’s debut book Women Don’t Owe You Pretty, a manifesto exploring issues of contemporary feminism, came out in 2020. It became an instant bestseller and has been translated into several languages. Her first novel, Girlcrush (2022), mines the world of social media and its impact on modern womanhood.
