Disrupt-Her: A Manifesto for the Modern Woman
From the co-founder of THINX and hellotushy.com, start-ups collectively valued at more than $150 million, comes DISRUPT-HER, a rallying cry for women to radically question the status quo.
Miki Agrawal has faced patriarchal pushback, fought girl-on-girl hate, ridden the roller coaster of building businesses as a female CEO, and even overcome an attempt to burn her for witchcraft (figuratively). In order to navigate the complicated--at times maddening--struggles of contemporary femininity, we need an unabashed manifesto for the modern woman that inspires us to move past outrage and take positive steps on the personal, professional, and societal levels. This manifesto galvanizes us to action in 13 major areas of our lives with as much fire power as possible. These are the credos we live by, the advice we give to friends, the tenets we instill in our companies and peers on a daily basis. Stories of badass female movers and shakers are shared in this book too to give you an extra jolt of "I've got this." It's a whole body F*CK YES to your work, your love, your relationships, and your mission--while doing it all authentically, unapologetically, and with full integrity.

Praise for this book
"In Disrupt-Her, Miki Agrawal invites all us humans to reexamine the beliefs and behaviors that keep us from living a fully expressed and authentic life. If you have ever wondered how to break free of group think and be who you are, read this book. In a world where more of us need to live in a way that adds to goodness, creativity, and innovation, this book is your guide."
-- Mark Hyman, M.D., #1 New York Times best-selling author of Food: What the Heck Should I Eat? and director, Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine "Any time a woman says to a system that doesn't work for her, for her children, for any species or for the planet, No, no way, not gonna, I've had it--that way of doing things doesn't work for me so don't even think about asking me, I say, 'You go girl!' So to Miki Agrawal: 'You go girl, and please keep going!'"
-- Marianne Williamson, #1 New York Times best-selling author of A Return to Love "An important book written at an important time, Disrupt-Her forces us to question all that is not serving us in our own life and in the greater society. A must-read!"
-- John Mackey, co-founder and CEO of Whole Foods Market and author of Conscious Capitalism and The Whole Foods Diet "I needed to read this. I needed these exact words after a year of feeling like a victim and a blamer who can't change her life or circumstances. This miracle of writing . . . is a fucking game changer."
-- Stacy London, editor, activist, stylist, and former co-host of What Not to Wear "This book is actually a manifesto meant for anyone who is bumping up against the edges of the typical societal mold and wondering if there's more to life. Miki shows us that if we run toward our authentic selves, indeed, there is."
-- Sophia Bush, actress and activist "If you want to flip the bird at the Patriarchy and outdated preconceptions, and then shift into your own power, read this book."
-- Ricki Lake, filmmaker and co-creator of The Business of Being Born and Weed the People "This book shifts our perspective and acts as a forcing function to question what changes we need to make in each of our lives, and how to best act with a sense of urgency."
-- Harley Finkelstein, COO of Shopify and Dragon from Dragons' Den "Miki's book Disrupt-Her is a one-of-a-kind manifesto that takes you by the hand, energetically pulls you away from societal preconceptions, and pushes you toward a life and world of possibility and abundance where you will shout, 'YES!! I CAN DO ANYTHING!' Miki lived through all the ups and downs of being a Disrupt-her and emerges with this book and perspective of life that is vulnerable, POWERFUL and contagious. She was born to write this book. Get it and it will change your life."
-- Radha Agrawal, founder and CEO of Daybreaker.com and author of Belong "Disrupt-Her is a book that will upgrade your mental conditioning and help you rethink your life from top to bottom."
-- Jim Kwik, celebrity brain coach and founder, Kwik Learning "Disrupt-Her helps you rethink your belief systems, challenge your societal conditioning, and provide tools to live exactly the way you want. It will allow you to create new, up-leveling possibilities for yourself in a fun, engaging, story-driven and research-driven way. Read this book and watch your life shift for the better."
