How to Be a Woman: The New York Times Bestselling Feminist Manifesto on Empowerment and Modern Womanhood

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. This is the book that asks all the important questions—and the hilarious ones you thought you couldn't say out loud: A Feminist Manifesto: Moran tackles everything from Brazilians and bras to abortion and fat, starting a new, essential conversation about what it means to be a woman now. Laugh-Out-Loud Funny: A memoir told with the rapier wit and unapologetic humor that has earned her comparisons to Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, and Lena Dunham. A Raw Coming of Age: Follow Caitlin through the riot of adolescence, from her first period and disastrous fashion choices to becoming a writer, wife, and mother. Brutal Honesty: No topic is off-limits as Moran slices right to the truth about the workplace, love, relationships, and the endless, absurd questions that beset modern women.
