The New York Times bestseller, now available in paperback—“Half memoir, half polemic, and entirely necessary,” (Elle UK) Caitlin Moran’s debut—an instant runaway bestseller in the UK—puts a new face on feminism, cutting to the heart of issues with an irreverent, transcendent, and hilarious touch.

“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.”

Listend twice I loved so much

This is a must read for every woman out there. I think it would help many a girl to relax and not take them selves so seriously.

Caitlin lays it on the line just how crazy the world has become and what we woman do to try and fit in as normal.

I have already listened to this book twice since I got it in January and I am sure will pull it out every couple of years to listen again to help remind me that I don't have to fit into what the world calls norm to be a women. I am a woman 100% no matter how little or how much effort I put into my appearance and if others don't like it then who cares.

A must read

A must read (or hear) for every woman or any human who likes women as a gender.

Laugh out loud funny and provocative writing

I loved it. I am annoyed none of my friends told me to listen to it sooner. Moran is the mentor or girlfriend you wish you had, not to mention the type of writer one should aspire to become.

Yes!

Upon turning 30 o found this book on a list to read before turning 30. I think it was the perfect age for me, I don't think I would have connected to as much of it as I have. The author reading the book made it that much more memorable! I will read it over and over!

Must Read!

What did you love best about How to Be a Woman?

The author, who narrates the book, does not just tell the story of her life but offers lessons learned the read can take away.

What about Caitlin Moran’s performance did you like?

Her voice is amazing.

If you could give How to Be a Woman a new subtitle, what would it be?

The book you wish you had when puberty hit.

Man! You feel like a woman.

Women empowerment! Women shouldn't be stereotyped but allowed to blossom as unique and individualist. Moran does a good job in representing and promoting and being a feminist.

A Fantastic Modern Feminist Perspective

Way too relate-able. Great new perspective on things that I had never thought about. The reader's accent made it a little difficult to understand sometimes, and sometimes it was just downright annoying. But the content is fantastic.

A real honest, inspiring outlook on the world!

I think this book was just perfect, especially being a woman quickly approaching my 30's I could laugh right along with the author as she read of her inner most fears, the expectations the modern world has placed on her, and laugh about all the horrible stereotypes and sexist cultural norms there are for women! The character in the authors voice As she read on was mesmerizing and I encourage every person who gives a damn about women to read this book, or listen to the author read it to you!

My new favorite book

This was the best audio book I've listened too. Laugh out loud funny!
Caitlin Moran is my hero!
Three cheers!

Loved it!

Absolutely loved it! An honest look at what it means to be a woman in today's society. Even if you don't agree with her on everything it's an interesting perspective that makes you re-evaluate how you look at yourself and other women.
