Caitlin Moran is a feminist heroine for our times. I can't wait to give this book to my daughters., The U.K. version of Tina Fey's Bossypants…. You will laugh out loud, wince, and-in my case-feel proud to be the same gender as the author., As funny and careerist as Tina Fey's Bossypants , as divulging as Ayelet Waldman's Bad Mother and as earthy as Cheryl Strayed's Wild ., 'A fresh, funny take on modern feminism that shines a light on issues facing every woman, lovingly boiled down to the basics with insight and humor.'( Today Show ), 'Bravely and brilliantly weaves personal anecdotes and cutting insight into a book that is at once instructional, confessional, and a call for change'.Moran shifts effortlessly between her own hilarious experiences and larger questions about women's place in the modern world.' ( Interview Magazine ), It is bracing in this season of losing [Nora] Ephron to discover a younger feminist writer who scrimmages with the patriarchy and drop kicks zingers with comic flair….A must-read for anyone curious to find out just how very funny a self-proclaimed 'strident feminist' can be., A spirited memoir/manifesto….With equal amounts snarky brio and righteous anger….That such an important topic is couched in ribald humor makes reading about Moran's journey hilarious as well as provocative….Rapturously irreverent, this book should kick-start plenty of useful discussions., Her arguments are hilarious and spot on….This isn't a self-help guide, and Moran's not really telling you how to be a woman. Instead, she's giving you permission to laugh: at ourselves, at her, and at anyone who think there's only one way to be a woman., 'Scathingly funny'.Moran makes us think about femininity and feminism, and whether you agree or not, she's fascinating.' ( People (3 ½ stars)), A fresh, funny take on modern feminism that shines a light on issues facing every woman, lovingly boiled down to the basics with insight and humor., There is a good reason for [its success]: it is pretty phenomenal….[Moran] wrote the book in just 5 months….Chances are you'll read it in far less time than that, turning down the corners of extra-resonating pages to come back to later., Caitlin Moran is so fabulous, so funny, so freshly feminist. I don't want to be like her--I want to be her. But if I can't, at least I can relish her book. You will, too., Caitlin Moran taught me more about being a woman than being a woman did. I'm pretty sure I had testicles before I read this book., Caitlin Moran is so fabulous, so funny, so freshly feminist. I don't want to be like her-I want to be her. But if I can't, at least I can relish her book. You will, too., Her arguments are hilarious and spot on….This isn't a self-help guide, and Moran's not really telling you how to be a woman. Instead, she's giving you permission to laugh: at ourselves, at her, and at anyone who thinks there's only one way to be a woman., Ingeniously funny….In her brilliant, original voice, Moran successfully entertains and enlightens her audience with hard-won wisdom and wit….She doesn't politicize feminism; she humanizes it., This brilliantly argued and urgently needed book-highly comic and deadly serious-is precisely what feminism has been waiting for., Bravely and brilliantly weaves personal anecdotes and cutting insight into a book that is at once instructional, confessional, and a call for change….Moran shifts effortlessly between her own hilarious experiences and larger questions about women's place in the modern world., Caitlin Moran is the profane, witty and wonky best friend I wish I had. She's the feminist rock star we need right now; How to Be a Woman is an hilarious delight., How funny is Caitlin Moran's neo-feminist manifesto and memoir, How to Be a Woman ? Don't read it with a full bladder….You could spend a whole book group session flagging favorite lines…..There's some comfort in Moran's book coming out so soon after Nora Ephron's death., 'Her arguments are hilarious and spot on'.This isn't a self-help guide, and Moran's not really telling you how to be a woman. Instead, she's giving you permission to laugh: at ourselves, at her, and at anyone who think there's only one way to be a woman.' ( Shannon Carlin , Bust Magazine ), There are lots of things to love about Caitlin Moran's 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., Caitlin Moran is so fabulous, so funny, so freshly feminist. I don't want to be like her—I want to be her. But if I can't, at least I can relish her book. You will, too., With her drunk-on-gin-with-my-lady-friends honesty and humor, Moran, a Times of London columnist, snips the man out of manifesto, spinning her message of radically sensible female empowerment., A hilarious neo-feminist manifesto….Moran reinvigorates women's lib with her personal and political polemic., Scathingly funny….Moran makes us think about femininity and feminism, and whether you agree or not, she's fascinating.

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The book that launched a feminist revolution--the hilarious memoir/manifesto from Caitlin Moran, "the UK's answer to Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, and Lena Dunham all rolled into one" ( Marie Claire ). 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., "Caitlin Moran is the profane, witty and wonky best friend I wish I had. She's the feminist rock star we need right now." -Ayelet Waldman, author of Bad Mother "Caitlin Moran is so fabulous, so funny, so freshly feminist. I don't want to be like her-I want to be her." -Peggy Orenstein, author of Cinderella Ate My Daughter Caitlin Moran puts a new face on feminism, cutting to the heart of women's issues today with her irreverent, transcendent, and hilarious How to Be a Woman. "Half memoir, half polemic, and entirely necessary," (Elle UK), Moran's debut was an instant runaway bestseller in England as well as an Amazon UK Top Ten book of the year; still riding high on bestseller lists months after publication, it is a bona fide cultural phenomenon. Now poised to take American womanhood by storm, here is a book that Vanity Fair calls "the U.K. version of Tina Fey's Bossypants….You will laugh out loud, wince, and-in my case-feel proud to be the same gender as the author.", NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The book that launched a feminist revolution--the hilarious memoir/manifesto from Caitlin Moran, "the UK's answer to Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, and Lena Dunham all rolled into one" (Marie Claire).
