How to Be a Woman
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Caitlin Moran's comic memoir/manifesto, "the UK's equivalent to Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, and Lena Dunham all wrapped into one," sparked a feminist revolution (Marie Claire).
Modern women's lives aren't exactly a walk down the catwalk, even if they have the vote and the Pill, and haven't been burnt as witches since 1727. They're plagued with doubts and queries, such as, "Why are they expected to acquire Brazilians?" Why are bras so painful? Why is there so much talk about babies? Do males subconsciously despise them?
Caitlin Moran interweaves controversial views on women's lives with hilarious events from her own life, from youth through her growth as a writer, wife, and mother. Moran's razor-sharp wit cuts straight to the heart of the matter—whether it's about the workplace, strip clubs, love, overweight, abortion, popular culture, or children—to kick-start a new feminist discourse. How to Be a Woman lays plain the reasons why female empowerment and rights are critical concerns not only for women today, but also for society as a whole, with wit, intelligence, and passion.
