How to Be a Difficult Bitch: Claim Your Power, Ditch the Haters, and Feel Good Doing It

In the past, being a ""difficult bitch"" was bad. Girls weren't supposed to call people out for their BS, stand up for themselves, or do their own thing. This book embraces the insult with irreverent humour, encouraging readers to be themselves no matter what, including an exploration of the ways this phrase can be interpreted differently among people of different backgrounds. Being a powerhouse is a choice. It's a lifestyle. It's a code of ethics. It takes work, a thick skin, and perseverance.

Vivid details and fully documented quotes add insight into these difficult issues. An appendix gives students ideas about how they can get involved.
