A vulnerable exploration of modern womanhood that weaves deeply personal stories with opinions and advice on sex, friendship, family, career and beyond.

This part memoir, part feminist manifesto meets women where they are and as they are. Hannah exposes and celebrates the messy, honest and insular parts of ourselves in a book designed to feel like a late-night conversation with your best friend - one that will make you laugh, cry and that you'll never want to end.

Reviews for Taboo: Conversations we never had about sex, body image, work and relationships

Ferociously bright, fearless and funny - Hannah Ferguson is the voice we all need to shatter taboos and guide us towards a new truth. - Elizabeth Day Taboo is an instant classic. Hannah Ferguson's ability to bring humanity to every polarising conversation she contributes to is what sets her, and this book, apart. As political discourse becomes more and more fragmented, disrespectful and dogged, Hannah ploughs a new path. Her work is open, honest, and examined, with a conviction in her beliefs that never borders on dogma. It's a pleasure to watch her think, and it's just as much a pleasure to read it, too. Everyone - yourself, your Mum, your partner and your dog - needs to read this book! - Lucinda Froomes Price Hannah Ferguson is one of the most reliable, educated and qualified voices for young women in Australia. I'd read anything she writes. Taboo arms readers with the knowledge and language to question the status quo and in turn, gives them the tools to make impactful change in their everyday lives. - Abbie Chatfield A confronting and cathartic exploration of our most intimate experiences, Taboo is another relatable and revolutionary read from one of Australia's most important voices. - Bridget Hustwaite Taboo is incredible. It shines light into every dark corner, every shame filled spiral, every curious whisper and secret you've ever held close. The kind of thing you want to make sure everyone from your best friend to your boss to that one uncle we all have reads. It's fearless and true, astonishingly honest and poignant, searingly relatable in its specificity. Ferguson tells the kind of tales that will make you laugh out loud, make your brain explode from thinking in a new way and make your heart ache, possibly all in the same sentence. - Hannah Diviney
