SynopsisA 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., Have You Ever... Routinely cleaned up after your roommate? Kept a gift you hated instead of asking for receipt? Agreed to go on a bachelorette trip you couldn't afford? Not asked for a promotion you had earned? Pretended to forget that a friend owes you money? Book jacket.
