Summary

It's a good time to be a woman: we have the vote and the Pill, and we haven't been burnt as witches since 1727. However, a few nagging questions do remain...

Why are we supposed to get Brazilians? Should we use Botox? Do men secretly hate us? And why does everyone ask you when you're going to have a baby?

Part memoir, part rant, Caitlin answers the questions that every modern woman is asking.

Critic reviews

Moran's writing sparkles with wit and warmth. Like the confidences of your smartest friend
I adore, admire and - more - am addicted to Caitin Moran's writing
Spectacular! Very, very funny, moving and revealing
I have been waiting for this book my whole life
Humour and common sense make Moran's redefining of hwat it means to be a feminist as readable as it is essential
A witty and bold account of modern womanhood... she is a genuinely original talent (Germaine Greer)
This might just be the funniest intelligent book ever written .. Moran's work packs a feminist punch in a way that Germaine Greer and an entire army of female eunuchs could never do, because she writes about things we've all done, thought, and said - but not quite so eloquently...the book everyone will be talking about
The book EVERY woman should read
Hilarious
Very, very funny...however, if you are female and particularly if you are a female under the age of 30, then, tucked around the jokes, Moran has provided you with a short, sharp, feminist manifesto. (Miranda Sawyer)
All stars

i enjoyed this book so much, that I started to listen to it again, immediately having finisjed it the first time. I'm going to listen to this every time I feel down about myself or my decisions. I am a feminist!

This is by no means a straightforward, cheerful rags-to-riches story from a Wolverhampton native. Instead, Caitlin Moran shares with her reader everything from the minutiae of her childhood in a houseful of siblings to the often-brutal realities of eventually having her own children. What makes it a truly brilliant autobiography is the way she is able to tap back into the mind of her younger self, by virtue of having access to the diaries she once kept, while also pointing out some blatant but important feminist truths, chapter by chapter. Caitlin Moran is hilarious and this book is amazing.

The brutal honesty will catch you off guard

The concept of "Listening" to a woman for 9 hours was daunting. and while some ideas have dated a tad, the premise remains strong. Recommend for boys.

Important read even if you don't agree with it all

How it has taken 10 years for this to drop into my life I don’t know. So grateful to the friend who recommended it. Honest, open, funny (actually almost wet myself laughing whilst listening on headphones in the supermarket!!), beautiful and basically wonderful. *stands on chair* DOWNLOAD AND LISTEN TO THIS RIGHT NOW! 💕

Love, love, love this.
