The fear of speaking cripples and debilitates. Women are particularly vulnerable to its effects. This is the first book to look exclusively at why this is the case and to offer advice as to how impediments to speaking can be overcome and controlled.

It examines the particular forms the fear of speaking may take, such as the fear of being the centre of attention or of saying the wrong thing, and gives an account of the factors, often social, that dissuade so many women from speaking up.

It explores the causes of this fear and offers valuable advice, suggesting practical methods for combatting speech inhibitions. It also gives tips as to how arguments can be handled and won more confidently and easily, and suggests more effective means of everyday conversation and communication.
