Now one of the UK''s most spirited advocates for women''s rights, and a leading chartered psychologist helping women and girls subjected to violence and trauma, Jessica shares her own personal journey for the very first time.

Do you fade into mediocrity, or do you change the world?

Taylor recounts with dark humour and unflinching detail the various
