Thanks so much to @jofurnissauthor for suggesting this book for #thebookship. I really enjoyed it. I’m a bit younger than @vivalbertine but so much of how she described London in the 1980’s resonated with me. It brought back memories of skinheads and punk fashion and all that music. Viv tells the story of her life from her French father abandoning the family when she was a girl, to her relationship with Mick Jones of the Clash; being a band member with Sid Vicious; hanging with Johnny Rotten and Vivienne Westwood; and becoming a member of girl punk band The Slits. Her world then was raw and real and full of fashion and drugs and music. Then she marries and heads off into the sunset of domesticity until her marriage breaks down and she realises that she can’t leave music behind after all. It’s such a life-affirming book even though there is much heartbreak in it. I felt it was an ode to creativity, to those parts of us we can’t deny even when life tries to break them out of us. That need to express and articulate what’s important. And it’s also about the value of love and friendship. I really recommend it even if – like me – you’re more a Take That girl than a Pistols fan… #books #book #bookreview #bookstagram #bookclub #onlinebookclub #booksbooksbooks #booklover #bookshelf #bookercommendations #sexpistols #johnnyrotten #sidvicious #viviennewestwood #punk #theslits

As a young lawyer, RBG was one of the women who inspired me to find the courage to make my way forward in a world dominated by men. The great dissenter, thank god she had the wisdom to know that “...we write not for today, but for tomorrow.” RIP. #ruthbaderginsburg #equalityforall #equality #inspiration
