Reaching Rosie

From Autism to Burlesque

By: Kara J. Morris

Picture the scene: five women, trembling with fear and excitement at the prospect of stripping naked in front of an expectant crowd… When Kara J. Morris discovered that her daughter, Rosie, had autism she vowed to do everything in her power to help her reach her potential. Their hope lay with special therapy in America, but at £17,000, this didn’t come cheap. Kara’s only option was to try to raise the funds – and fast. When four of her friends came up with the idea of forming a burlesque striptease ensemble to draw attention to her cause, Kara jumped in feet first. Their new group, The Full Monty Girls faced the challenge of a lifetime. Never could they have envisaged that their friendship, determination and the support they received from their local community would go on to spread their message of autism awareness to millions of people around the world.

Over the Influence

Why Social Media is Toxic for Women and Girls - And How We Can Take it Back

By: Kara Alaimo

This essential book is a rallying cry for women to recognize and reject the ways social media is being weaponized against us — and instead wield it to empower ourselves. In Over the Influence, communication professor and CNN Opinion contributor Kara Alaimo reveals how social media is affecting every aspect of the lives of women and girls—from our relationships and our parenting to our physical and mental well-being. Over the Influence is a book about what it means to live in the world social media has wrought—whether you’re constantly connected or have deleted your accounts forever. Alaimo shows why you’re likely to get fewer followers if you’re a woman. She explains how fake news is crafted to prey on women’s vulnerabilities. She reveals why so much of the content we find in our feeds is specifically designed to hold us back. And she explains how social media has made the offline world an uglier place for women. But we can change this. Alaimo offers up brilliant advice for how to get over the influence—how to handle our daughters’ use of social media, use dating apps to find the partners we’re looking for, use social networks to bolster our careers, and protect ourselves from sextortionists, catfishers, and trolls. She also explains what we need to demand from lawmakers and tech companies. Over the Influence calls on women to recognize and call out the subtle (and not-so-subtle) sexism and misogyny we find online, reject misinformation that is targeted to us because of our gender, and use our platforms to empower ourselves and other women.
