Summary

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....

I just loved this book-Bridget Christie is so smart and funny without an ounce of pomp or worthiness. It's a book I want to give to my daughter when she's older because every girl should have someone as warm and funny yo help her understand feminism and why it's not only still relevant but vital.

Funny, serious, important, lovely

That's my first review ever but just can't help myself. I bought this audiobook after watching Bridget's comedy special on Netflix. She's wise and hilarious. You won't regret any minute spent in her company. I don't agree with everything, I laughed at almost everything (which immediately turnes you into a maniac if you're listening to it on a train or while walking on the street) and I love her to bits.

Brilliant, hilarious, important

I enjoyed Bridget's book and loved her narration. Lots of great points made and shows how peculiar the world still is for women, not to mention scary. This book also made me laugh a lot at the absurdiness of it all and made me want to stick up for us females. Thanks Bridget!

Lots of things to think about - funny too!
