How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone by Cameron Russell

The realities of the fashion industry exposed in this devastating account of the life of a successful supermodel.

'A unique and honest perspective on the fashion industry.. Cameron doesn’t just hold the door open for more voices from within fashion, she makes a compelling argument as to why they must be heard.' —Christy Turlington

'A shocking-yet-familiar story of a girl working an industry that runs on abuses of sex, money and beauty. Thanks to Russell’s forceful gaze, it’s a book of real power.' —Stylist, BEST NON-FICTION BOOKS OF 2024

'A sweeping meditation on power, beauty, complicity, exploitation, and control... candid and beautiful.' —Elle

'Compelling, smart and insightful' —Venetia La Manna, host of All The Small Things

'Russell’s voice is steady and compelling throughout, offering young women, especially, a thoughtful and powerful way through.' —Peggy Orenstein, author of Girls & Sex

'Unforgettable... Fiercely intellectual, deeply vulnerable, and unapologetically honest, Russell reads through the layers of gender, race, capital, and exploitation in the fashion industry.' —Imani Perry, author of South to America

‘One of the world’s top supermodels and #MeToo heroines, Cameron Russell reveals the fashion industry’s seedier side in a personal new book… But because this is Russell, who has a degree in economics and political science, the book also questions the idea of consent, control and the complexities of being complicit in an industry that is as much a force for good as a hotbed of mistreatment.’ —Evening Standard

'A gripping tour of a twenty-year modeling career. In visceral and relatable storytelling Cameron Russell confirms our worst fears about the industry and then topples them to reveal hope, humanity, and solidarity. She affirms that fashion can be a space and a tool for liberation. I am grateful for this tender and powerful book.' —Geena Rocero, model and author of Horse Barbie

'I don’t know of a more blistering dismantling of what makes a so-called fashion and modeling industry.' —Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy

'A poignant and expertly crafted memoir, How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone tells the story of a woman finding her power and using it to uplift others—from workers’ rights to climate justice. This book holds lessons for us all.' —Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, co-founder of Urban Ocean Lab and the All We Can Save Project
