"Not your average slice of chick lit."

Closer

"A book that makes you stop and think: are we over-sexualising our society and perpetuating a culture of misogyny?"

"IT'S A MAN'S WORLD is a pacy, unconventional novel that calls into question whether we really do have equality in today's world."

"I changed my tune as I read this - first thinking that women had nothing to complain about but then, slowly, realising that there was something seriously wrong..."

"More like this please! This is not your average chick-flick romp. It is not a romp at all. Page-turner, yes, but it makes you stop and think. Are lads' mags a force for evil?"

"An addictive page turner with a hard-hitting meaning." Alexa Harris likes a challenge. At twenty-nine, she is the youngest ever director at the world’s leading magazine publisher, Senate Media. So when the head of the UK business calls upon her to head up their flagship “lads’ mag”, Banter, it doesn’t take much for Alexa to accept. But life on the all-male editorial team proves harder than Alexa had imagined – not just because of her ambitious targets. The pervading attitude in the office is one of light-hearted misogyny and on more than one occasion, a practical joke crosses the line into sexual harassment. As Alexa’s initiatives start to take effect, Banter is pushed further into the public eye and the young, female director finds herself the victim of an increasingly personal hate campaign led by some persistent women’s rights activists. Standing her ground, Alexa is forced to defend the very principles she rallies against every day in the office and begins to question her own beliefs. Do magazines like Banter perpetuate a culture of hatred against women, or is it all just harmless banter?
