How To Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran

ISBN: 9780091940744

12.90

Though they have the vote and the Pill and haven’t been burned as witches since 1727, life isn’t exactly a stroll down the catwalk for modern women. They are beset by uncertainties and questions: Why are they supposed to get Brazilians? Why do bras hurt? Why the incessant talk about babies? And do men secretly hate them?

Caitlin Moran interweaves provocative observations on women’s lives with laugh-out-loud funny scenes from her own, from the riot of adolescence to her development as a writer, wife, and mother.

With rapier wit, Moran slices right to the truth whether it’s about the workplace, strip clubs, love, fat, abortion, popular entertainment, or children to jump-start a new conversation about feminism. With humor, insight, and verve, How to Be a Woman lays bare the reasons why female rights and empowerment are essential issues not only for women today but also for society itself.

The New York Times bestseller part manifesto, part memoir that put a new face on feminism as it cut to the heart of issues with an irreverent, transcendent, and hilarious touch.

‘There are lots of things to love about Caitlin Morans How to Be a Woman. A glorious, timely stand against sexism so ingrained we barely even notice it. It is, in the dour language [Moran] militates so brilliantly against, a book that needed to be written.’ New York Times
