Florence Given

Florence Given is a British illustrator, writer, and social media influencer who made her debut in the public eye in 2018 when her petition against the Netflix series "Insatiable" amassed over 300,000 signatures. This initial foray into activism was followed by a successful writing career that began with the release of her first book, "Women Don't Owe You Pretty," in June 2020. This publication explores contemporary feminism, a topic that Given continues to engage with throughout her work. Her second book, "Girlcrush," released in August 2022, furthers this exploration by following the story of a bisexual woman named Eartha.

In addition to her successful writing career, Given has also made her mark in the world of podcasting. In January 2022, she launched "Exactly," a podcast offering insightful discussions on sex, relationships, and social media. The podcast was recognized with the gold award for Best Marketing Campaign at the 2022 British Podcast Awards. Her third book, "Women Living Deliciously," released two years later in August 2024, not only became a Sunday Times bestseller but was also listed as a Times book of the year.

Given's influence extends beyond her creative pursuits, as evidenced by her inclusion in the Forbes 30 under 30 list in 2024. Recognized for her work on women's mental health, she was awarded Cosmopolitan's UK Influencer of the Year in 2019 and was also listed among Irish magazine Her's Women of the Year in the same year. As of 2025, Given resides in Los Angeles, continuing her engagement with a variety of platforms to discuss, advocate for, and influence thoughts on feminism, relationships, and mental health.
