Summary

Dr Jessica Taylor grew up on a council estate where brutality and coercion were normalised, and where substance abuse was a day-to-day occurrence. 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. Told through a series of absorbing vignettes spanning from her childhood days to gaining her PhD in forensic psychology, 'Underclass' is a memoir about extraordinary strength, the complexities of belonging, and finding your power even when it feels as though the world is against you.
