About this listen
The hilarious memoir from award-winning comedian Bridget Christie.
When Bridget Christie walked into her local bookshop, she thought she'd come out with a book. And maybe a calendar of cute photos of cats (hopefully unlike you've just done). The last thing she thought she'd be leaving with was the need for a new wave of feminism and the start of an incredibly successful career.
Up until that day, she hadn't realised that misogyny was like shiny leggings: it had been making an unexpected comeback (and for the record, neither do ordinary women any favours).
From that moment, Bridget decided that the world should know that feminism is not embarrassing for women. In fact she managed to find the humour in it. And she wasn't afraid to answer the difficult questions all women wanted to know: why do fish stare at you during lap dances at Stringfellows? Do I need to have botox before heading to a pub quiz? Is bootylicious a new brand of feminism or an arse-flavoured bubble gum?
A Book for Her is Bridget's story. But it's not only a book for her, it's also a book for you. And for him, if he's not a dick. Or even if he is, he could learn something that might make him not a dick.
Oh, and what happened in that bookshop? You'll have to listen on to find out....

However... I have disabilities that make reading very difficult for me, I rely on Audiobooks heavily. I am eternally grateful they exist. One sly "joke" about people who listen to audiobooks being "too lazy" to read I can take, its not funny but move on. Ms Christie goes on. And on. And on. And when you finally start to get into the book, she does it again. Seriously, was there not an editor on hand to listen to what she was saying? Why was it passed as ok? She was rude, offensive, unkind, utterly thoughtless, and when she said that people buying audiobooks were too cheap to get the book - massively ill informed.
If this book ever gets re-recorded by someone else I will gladly try it again, and I'm sure I will love it.
Get the book, ask someone else to read it to you
