Why Not Her? A Manifesto for Culture Change

By Linda Coogan Byrne

This isn't just a book. It's a call to action.

Why Not Her? A Manifesto for Culture Change is a bold and unflinching examination of the systemic inequalities within the music industry-and far beyond. Written by leading activist, PR specialist, and gender equity champion Linda Coogan Byrne, this powerful manifesto lays bare the barriers that have silenced women and marginalised voices for decades.

Drawing from her years of experience leading the Why Not Her? movement, which has reached millions of people and driven policy change across broadcasting and festivals, Coogan Byrne offers not only an expos© of injustice but a blueprint for real transformation.

Perfect for artists, activists, industry professionals, and anyone committed to dismantling exclusion, Why Not Her? is a must-read for those who refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice.

"A stalwart of Ireland's music scene, publicist and manager Linda Coogan-Byrne has made it her mission to call out the structural sexism and racism she sees in her field."

- Irish Examiner
