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.

Review:
"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."--Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air

"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

"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."--Jenny Lawson, author of Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir

"The UK's answer to Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, and Lena Dunham all rolled into one."--Marie Claire

"Moran's frank wit is appealing."--The New Yorker

"A hilarious neo-feminist manifesto....Moran reinvigorates women's lib with her personal and political polemic."--NPR.org

"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."--Jenn Doll, The Atlantic Wire

"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."--Vanity Fair.com

"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

"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."--Holloway McCandless, Shelf Awareness
Book Description:
A new way of looking at feminism from one of our funniest writers
