Description
For the first time, Mandy Nolan – legendary comic and author – has brought together a collection of some of her most provocative, polarising and most humorous columns written for the iconic and long-running newspaper The Byron Bay Echo.Mandy has been writing for over twenty years and her Soapbox columns are something of an institution. Her resolute, irreverent and outspoken voice is a weekly call to arms for a population who identify as living outside the mainstream. She courts controversy with a wide range of topics close to her heart: social justice, feminism, environmentalism, climate change, kids and family, ageing and body image. Every column is written in typical Mandy style, acerbic, cutting, gently mocking, heart-wrenching and most times just downright funny. She’ll make you laugh. She’ll make you think. She’ll make you stand up and scream ‘YES!’. Or she’ll make you so angry you’ll write letters to the editor and send her hate mail. Like her or love her, everyone READS her, because Mandy Nolan is a unique woman with something to say. She isn’t a fence sitter – she is an amazon of a woman who turns up and rips the fence out to make you accountable for where you stand.
