What is this book about?
The Founder of Cheek Media Co. delivers the conversations we’ve been missing on everything from diet culture to the future of the #MeToo movement. Articulating sharp, progressive perspectives on the social and political issues that matter, Bite Back offers constructive talking points to provoke and inspire meaningful change.
Cheek Media Co. was founded by three women in 2020 with the singular purpose of delivering entertaining, accessible and progressive ideas in a media landscape dominated by the conservative right. In just over two years, Cheek has become the go-to social platform for Australians seeking expansive, feminist opinions on current events.
Bite Back examines how to have hard conversations with loved ones, the realities of reforming a criminal justice system that isn’t fit for purpose and analyses the role of popular culture icons in upholding beauty standards and a toxic culture of dieting. This is a book of opinions and ideas with bite, it’s news that talks back.
