Synopsis

One of the funniestand most subversivebooks of the year (Esquire): Megan Amram, a writer for Parks and Recreation, delivers a politically, scientifically, and anatomically incorrect textbook that will have women screaming with laughter, and men dying to know what the noise is about.

Laugh-out-loud funnyan exuberantly scathing takedown of the sexism lurking within the fun, flirty pages of womens magazines (The Boston Globe), Sciencefor Her! showcases Megan Amrams fiendish wit with a pitch-perfect attack on everything from those insanely perky tips for self-improvement to our bizarre shopaholic dating culture to the socially mandated pursuit of mind-blowing sex to the cringe-worthy secret codes of food and body issues.

Part incisive farce, part biting commentary on gender, this hilarious feminist manifesto for the modern era (Salon) blends Cosmo and science to highlight absurdities with a machine-gun of laugh-inducing lines that leave nothing and no one unscathed. Subjects include: this Springs ten most glamorous ways to die; tips for hosting your own big bang; what religion is right for your body type; and the most pressing issue facing women today: kale!!!

This giddily demented (The Washington Post) satirical gem is comedy-as-borderline-art (Flavorwire). Sciencefor Her! is a triumph that anybody with a sense of humor will appreciate (People).
