Feminists Don't Wear Pink (and other lies)

Last year, Scarlett Curtis and 52 inspirational women wrote an extraordinary anthology on what feminism means to them. The book went on to be a cultural phenomenon and turned the world Pink. This year, it's Blue. We are living in the middle of a mental health epidemic and we have a choice- we can be floored by it - or we can start to make a difference. Here are the extraordinary people making that difference. Other People Don't Feel Blue (and other lies) is a collection of words from those who have suffered through the worst, and know what it's like to fight to feel better. This isn't just a book. It's a shout, a scream that cuts above the noise and lets everyone know they are not alone. Funny, sad, clever, relatable it will be a shining example of the power of words to make us all feel better.

Amazing Women on What the F-Word Means to Them

Feminists Don't Wear Pink and Other Lies

Ein Mutmacher für alle, denen es gerade nicht gut geht. Psychische Gesundheit geht uns alle an. Trotzdem trauen sich die wenigsten, offen darüber zu sprechen. Die britische Aktivistin Scarlett Curtis hat es sich zu ihrer Mission gemacht, dieses gesellschaftliche Tabu zu brechen, und gefragt: Was bedeutet psychische Gesundheit für dich? Mehr als 30 inspirierende Menschen teilen in dieser Anthologie ihre ganz persönliche Geschichte. Die Texte sind aufrüttelnd, lustig, schonungslos, poetisch und tröstend. Sie sind wie ein Zuruf, ein lautes Signal, das alle da draußen wissen lässt: Du bist nicht allein! Egal, was du gerade durchmachst – es ist okay. Es ist okay, nicht okay zu sein. Es ist okay, zu weinen. Es ist okay, wütend zu sein. Es ist okay, um Hilfe zu bitten. Es ist okay, im Bett zu bleiben. Es ist okay, wenn du nicht darüber reden willst. Es ist okay, eine Therapie zu machen. Es ist okay, Medikamente zu nehmen. Es ist okay, menschlich zu sein. Das hier ist kein Lehrbuch. Es wurde nicht ausschließlich von professionellen Psycholog*innen oder Psychiater*innen geschrieben. Es ist persönlich. Aber im Teilen von persönlichen Geschichten liegt eine gewaltige Kraft. »Das ist so ein großartiges Buch. Egal, wie du dich fühlst, es wird dir helfen.« Ed Sheeran Mit Beiträgen von Emma Thompson • Emilia Clarke • Hannah Witton • James Blake • Lena Dunham • Matt Haig • Naomi Campbell uvm. Außerdem exklusiv in der deutschen Ausgabe: Texte von Angelina Boerger • Benjamin Maack • Coldmirror (Kathrin Fricke) • Lucia Lucia • Marlon Schulte • Miriam Davoudvandi • Nicholas Müller • Pia Kabitzsch Triggerwarnung: Depression, Suizidgedanken, Angststörung
