Woke cover

This engaging guide explores modern social justice, making the concept of being woke accessible and relatable for all readers. Woke by Titania McGrath provides practical insights.

In Woke, Titania McGrath offers a satirical yet insightful guide to understanding the complexities of modern social justice. Through her unique lens as a millennial icon, she navigates the often confusing terminology and concepts that define twenty-first-century 'wokeness'. With a blend of humor and sharp wit, Titania addresses the bewildering landscape of activism, making it accessible for everyone, regardless of their prior knowledge or engagement with progressive ideas.

The book challenges readers to reconsider their perspectives and embrace the idea that being woke is not as daunting as it seems. Titania emphasizes that anyone can participate in social justice efforts, and she provides practical examples, such as updating social media profiles or engaging in conversations about identity, to illustrate how simple actions can contribute to meaningful change. Her approach is non-patronizing, aiming to empower rather than alienate.

Woke serves as both a critique and a celebration of contemporary activism. Titania McGrath's voice resonates with those who find themselves lost in the complexities of modern discourse, offering clarity and a touch of humor. This timely guide is not just a call to action but also a reflection on the nature of virtue signaling in the digital age, making it an essential read for anyone looking to navigate the progressive landscape with confidence.

Why Titania is perfect for our times . . . Titania is a creation of genius . . . Finally, the plodding, establishment satire of recent years might have finally been subject to the disruption it has so badly needed . . . not just funny, but fatally accurate and true -- Douglas Murray * Unherd *
Just as Bridget Jones was the embodiment of the anxiety-ridden Nineties feminist, a creation whose diary entries encapsulated all our hopes, fears and failures, so Titania McGrath is her millennial successor, a girl every bit as lost and confused, every bit as accurately observed - and equally, catastrophically, hilarious -- Sarah Vine * Daily Mail *
Hilarious * Evening Standard *
Hilarious . . . perfectly captures the chiding, self-righteous, intolerant, joyless tone of the "woke" Stasi -- Janice Turner * The Times *
The latest genius twist in Britain's long tradition of satirical spoof . . . Brilliantly funny take on a generation obsessed with gender fluidity, sexism, stereotyping, fat-shaming, no platforming . . . -- Virginia Blackburn * Daily Express *
Absolutely hilarious * Piers Morgan *
She pricks pomposity and tempers moral certitude with a hint of doubt; in short, she keeps us honest.

The funniest spoof Twitter account bar none. Titania's feed is a delight -- Charles Moore * Evening Standard *
