In 2023’s Barbie Movie, America Ferrera’s iconic speech magically deprogrammed the Barbies from patriarchy. And now Michelle Minnikin is here to do the same for women of the real world.
From our first days on Earth, we're taught what it means to be a Good Girl. Look good, be nice, stay quiet, take care of everyone else... The list goes on, and at the heart of it all, one message shines through: Do as you're told or pay the price.
In Good Girl Deprogramming, Michelle shines a light on the sinister nature, tactics and tricks of coercive control that not only program us to be Good Girls but keep us in that mindset for the years, decades, and generations that follow.
With ferocity, empathy, and just enough humour to prevent the idea of being brainwashed by patriarchy too depressing, Michelle shares stories, facts and actionable advice that empowers women to break free from our own programming and rediscover who we truly are.
Good Girl Deprogramming isn’t just a book, it’s a movement. One that takes each of us by the hand and invites us to step into a life that is powerfully, beautifully and unapologetically yours.
