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--now available in a limited Olive Edition.

-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.---New York Times

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

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""

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"

Scathingly funny .Moran makes us think about femininity and feminism, and whether you agree or not, she s fascinating. --People (3 ? stars)"

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"

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. --New York Times"

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"
Book Description:
