Bimbo

‘Bold, brave and brilliantly told – this is the book I've been waiting for my whole life.'

Bryony Gordon

'Raw and gloriously unapologetic … a rallying cry for every woman who’s ever been told to stay quiet.'

Carol Vorderman

'Whip smart'

Red Magazine

Ashley is acutely aware, both of herself and of the society she operates within. It is that combination that makes her such a force. Unapologetic women, bold in their truth and unashamed in their mess are crucial, not just to the feminist cause, but to the collective self-worth of future generations. In this book Ashley is all of that and more, making it essential reading for every woman who has ever been made to feel too much, too little, or anything inbetween

Em Clarkson

'Ashley is a much-needed force. An excellent communicator and a defiant and expansive thinker.'

Jameela Jamil

Ashley James writes with honesty, courage and clarity. Bimbo is a fearless exploration of how women are judged, underestimated and underestimated again, and how reclaiming our narratives can be an act of liberation. A timely and empowering read.

Katie Piper OBE

Everything in Ashley’s brilliant book… it’s a conversation that needs to keep on happening… and for men and women to talk about all of this because it benefits everybody.

Fearne Cotton

'The way Ashley expertly pulls apart inherent female injustices will leave you feeling outraged at a system still so stacked against women. But what I took away even more than that from the book, was the sheer joy of knowing that there are the Ashley’s of the world around to loudly call bullsh*t on it all. Just as she does on TV, in Bimbo, Ashley pulls apart the issues facing the modern woman and puts them back together again with brilliantly considered thought and context. Ignore this Bimbo at your peril.'

Ellie Taylor

This book feels like someone finally saying the quiet parts out loud. BIMBO is honest, brave and fiercely validating; Ashley dismantles the labels used to keep women small and exposes the systems that taught us to internalise them.
