    About this audiobook

    A timely and entertaining exploration of why ambitious women are often perceived as rude and how the power of rudeness can be harnessed in relationships, in bed, at work, and in everyday life.

    During a TV interview with a comedian, journalist Rebecca Reid found herself unable to get a word in edgewise. So, when she put her finger to her lips and shushed him, she became instantly known on the internet as “Rebecca Rude.” It was only then that she realized that being rude could actually be her superpower.

    A captivating blend of advice and pop culture, this “breezy feminist guide” (Publishers Weekly) shows you how to use the power of boldness in every area of your life. Exploring famous women who have been perceived as rude—including Princess Margaret, Anna Wintour, Taylor Swift, Meghan Markle, and others—Rude demonstrates how those women used their “rudeness” to get what they want and deserve out of life.

    Reid also addresses whether there are different rules of rudeness for women compared to men (yes, there are) and how being taught not to be rude actually prevents women from being successful—especially because when women are assertive, they are often judged as being aggressive. And while there’s a place for politeness, Rebecca argues that it’s never a bad time to stand up for yourself and achieve your dreams.

      It’s everything I needed now. I really want to be a badass who just does what she wants and when she wants. Wish me luck.

      I needed this book! I have to read it again. I felt like all the things I’ve been feeling about certain issues were validated. It’s amazing to KNOW we are not alone and it’s so refreshing to have perspective in how to handle it.

      This is *just* what I needed. Rebecca was bold, funny, and honest. This book was perfect!
    • 5/5
      I think this should be taught in schools to girls
      In kindergarten even
      If only someone gave me this book years ago i would have had a less painful life
      I am a guilt machine and i want to change that and be rude?
