All the Women in My Brain: And Other Concerns

Product Information

Dying of Politeness is a touching account of one woman’s journey to fight for herself, and ultimately fighting for women all around the globe. And I think it's strange because my depression and anxiety and the darker parts of me connect me to the parts of acting that I like.

But once her feelings of bliss dissipated, she couldn’t help but shake the lingering question: Am I doing this right? I know, Kelsey, but fifteen minutes late with more eyeshadow is better than ten minutes late looking like myself.I laughed so hard, I cried, I gasped with recognition - I wanted to stay inside Betty''s brain for as long as possible. In a strange world where Rose McGowan was continually on display, stardom soon became a personal nightmare of constant exposure and sexualization. Maria Bamford is a comedian’s comedian (an outsider among outsiders) and has forever fought to find a place to belong. For someone leading a completely different life, thousands of miles away from me, this was somehow as much of a getting-to-know Betty as it was meeting parts of myself.

And I'm wondering after that experience, what did that teach you about how our health care system falls short when it comes to taking care of women's mental health?It is the actress’s job to convince you she is both the headgear-wearing, overlooked wallflower whom you can finally grant time in the sun and the sparkling flawless cheerleader you can finally control. Perfectly narrated, Gilpin's genius retelling of her experience as a fallable human is entertaining, enlightening and thought provoking. Betty Gilpin is equal parts excited and terrified to share her thoughts with the world in her empowering first book, All the Women in My Brain: And Other Concerns.
