Reviews
"Cameron Russell's How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone is an unforgettable book. Fiercely intellectual, deeply vulnerable, and unapologetically honest, Russell reads through the layers of gender, race, capital, and exploitation in the fashion industry. Through her personal journey, she unpacks how inheritances, commitments, and dreams can both inspire and distort our paths. A voracious reader and critical thinker, Russell reveals the complex dance of an industry that punishes even as it rewards. Her story of being a supermodel and groundbreaking activist is particular, but the lessons she shares apply to us all. She teaches us how to move away from being accomplices to our own suffering and toward being loving witnesses for one another. I highly recommend this powerful work." --Imani Perry, National Book Award-winning author of South to America " How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone somehow exists before, beside, and after reckoning. I don't know of a more blistering dismantling of what makes a so-called fashion and modeling industry. And that would have been enough. But the book artfully pivots toward repair and locates truths in the actual bodies, experiences, and imaginations of those who hold the clothes up. Craft matters here. Cameron Russell's writing, and its audacious scope, will become malleable legend." --Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy " How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone is 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 "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 "How To Make Herself Agreeable To Anyone offers a unique and honest perspective on the fashion industry. Through the story of her journey of establishing her boundaries and paving a path to activism, 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 Burns, Founder & President of Every Mother Counts and Model "In an image-obsessed era that reduces women to--or encourages us to reduce ourselves to--our bodies, Cameron Russell's How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone is both a mirror and a window. Her struggle to maintain her agency is so deeply familiar, while her experience in an industry that often exploits and objectifies its workers in the name of 'beauty' ultimately affects us all. Russell's voice is steady and compelling throughout, offering young women, especially, a thoughtful and powerful way through." --Peggy Orenstein, New York Times bestselling author of Girls and Sex, "How To Make Herself Agreeable To Anyone offers a unique and honest perspective on the fashion industry. Through the story of her journey of establishing her boundaries and paving a path to activism, 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 Burns, Founder & President of Every Mother Counts and Model "In an image-obsessed era that reduces women to--or encourages us to reduce ourselves to--our bodies, Cameron Russell's How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone is both a mirror and a window.

Synopsis
"Gripping . . . a call to action--and accountability--for the entire fashion industry."-- Marie Claire A bold memoir that explores who holds the power in an image-obsessed culture, from the model and activist who helped organize the movement to bring equity to fashion "By elevating me for something I have no control over, the industry and economy signal to all women: there is almost nothing you can do or create that is as valuable as how you look." Scouted by a modeling agent when she was just sixteen years old, Cameron Russell first approached her job with some reservations: She was a serious student with her sights set on college, not the runway. But modeling was a job that seemed to offer young women like herself unprecedented access to wealth, fame, and influence. Besides, as she was often reminded, "there are a million girls in line" who would eagerly replace her. In her fierce and innovative memoir, Russell chronicles how she learned to navigate the dizzying space between physical appearance and interiority and making money in an often-exploitative system. Being "agreeable," she found, led to more success: more bookings and more opportunities to work with the world's top photographers and biggest brands. But as her prominence grew, Russell found that achievement under these conditions was deeply isolating and ultimately unsatisfying. Instead of freedom, she was often required to perform the role of compliant femme fatale, so she began organizing with her peers, helping to coordinate movements for labor rights, climate and racial justice, and bringing MeToo to the fashion industry. Intimate and illuminating, How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone is a nuanced, deeply felt memoir about beauty, complicity, and the fight for a better world.
