Quit Like a Woman
The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol
Author: Holly Whitaker
Overview
In a society where alcohol is everywhere—from baby showers to funerals—Holly Whitaker offers a bold and refreshing perspective: what if the real radical choice is not to drink at all? In Quit Like a Woman, Whitaker exposes the pervasive influence of alcohol in our culture, the ways it is marketed to women, and the archaic, patriarchal structures of traditional recovery systems.
Drawing on her own journey to sobriety, Whitaker shares how she created a new, women-centered approach to recovery that focuses on empowerment, identity, and self-discovery rather than shame and surrender. Blending memoir, cultural critique, and a feminist call to action, this book challenges everything we think we know about drinking—and shows us what life can look like without alcohol.
