Katie Piper: Still Beautiful

When a life-threatening acid-attack left Katie Piper physically and visibly scarred at just 24, her approach to ageing was irrevocably changed: she now sees each passing year as a reminder of the privilege of being alive.

Over a decade on from sharing her story for the first time, Katie reflects on what it means to age well within a world that has too often made women feel irrelevant or invisible for going through the natural ageing process.

From how to know your worth to how to take up space in a society that tells you to be small, this book will help you cultivate a confidence you can depend on and find the real beauty in getting older. 

As part of Chester Literature Festival Katie will be interviewed by Professor of Literature and Gender Studies; Programme Leader, MRes Gender Studies Emma Rees. 

Katie Piper OBE is an international bestselling author, inspirational speaker, TV presenter and charity campaigner. She is a regular panellist on ITV’s Loose Women and a presenter for BBC Radio 2.
