Summary

The ultimate guide to female friendship, mutual empowerment, and reclaiming “gossip” from the patriarchy, with humorous anecdotes and 30 practical exercises from social media star Tova Leigh.

When women talk together, amazing things happen ...

Offering practical tools as well as stories from Tova’s own personal experience and from the many women she has met along the way, Good Girls Gossip gives all women permission to be themselves, and highlights the key role other women play in female empowerment.

As a little girl, Tova would watch her mother and her friends gossiping together: "It was deeper than words, like something primal, like a pack of wild wolves howling with laughter at an invisible moon. I know now that what I was witnessing was their authenticity, and it sparkled ....". Like all women, they shared experiences. Heartbreaks, struggles, birth stories, aspirations, shitty bosses, health scares, culinary secrets, diet struggles ... They cried together, got angry together. They gossiped and they formed bonds. They empowered each other.

The book is the ultimate guide to female friendship and mutual empowerment, exploring crucial topics such as:

• Tapping into women's generational wisdom: why women of all ages need to come together.
• Discovering "who am I?" with questions for the reader to explore their own true identity. 
• Giving ourselves permission to be who we are, with exercises to break out our boxes. 
• Setting boundaries: start small and build up from there. 
• Assessing our own needs: create a road map to what matters to you. 
• Prioritising pleasure: why pleasure is a necessity, not a luxury, and how to get it. 
• Creating community: how to draw on the support of other women in being yourself. 
• Reclaiming the word "gossip": this word became used as a misogynistic tool to oppress, silence and strip women of their power. It's time to reclaim it!
