A new way of looking at feminism from one of our funniest writers

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.

About the author

Caitlin Moran

Caitlin Moran is the eldest of eight children, home educated on a council estate in Woverhampton. She published her first novel at 16 and became a columnist at The Times at 18. She has won Columnist of the Year seven times and has also been named Interviewer and Critic of the Year. Her million-selling groundbreaking feminist memoir How to be a Woman was voted one of the Sunday Times ‘Most Important Books of the Twenty-First Century’. Caitlin's other books have also been bestsellers and How to Build a Girl was made into a film with Beanie Feldstein and Emma Thompson. Her Channel 4 sitcom Raised by Wolves, co-written with her sister Caroline Moran, won a Rose d’Or for Best Sitcom. Her Who’s Who entry lists her interests as 'cava, eyeliner, hair embiggening, and The Struggle'. She lives in North London with her husband and two children, and, after following all her own advice, she really is hopeful now.

Praise for How To Be a Woman

Moran's writing sparkles with wit and warmth. Like the confidences of your smartest friend

Simon Pegg

I adore, admire and - more - am addicted to Caitin Moran's writing

Nigella Lawson

Spectacular! Very, very funny, moving and revealing

Jonathan Ross

I have been waiting for this book my whole life

Claudia Winkleman

Humour and common sense make Moran's redefining of hwat it means to be a feminist as readable as it is essential

Elle

A witty and bold account of modern womanhood... she is a genuinely original talent

Germaine Greer, The Times

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

Stylist

The book EVERY woman should read

Grazia

Hilarious

Heat

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, Observer

A must read for all humans, this

Dave Sexton, Evening Standard

Addictive stuff and extremely funny

Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times

I loved How to be a Woman so much that, during the two days it took me to read, I couldn't bear to be parted from it; like a best friend you can't stop gossiping with.

Sunday Express

It would almost be unkind to call this an important book, because what it mostly is is engaging, brave and consistently, cleverly naughtily funny, but actually it is important that we talk about this stuff

Katy Guest, Independent on Sunday

I devoured How to Be A Woman in one sitting...this is the book that frustrated boyfriends have wanted someone...to write for decades

Dan Stevens, The Times

Anarchic, bonkers 21st century woman's lib with laughs

Red

Moran is a clever, cheery companionable voice of sanity and How to Be A Woman is a laugh-aloud call to arms

Metro

This brilliantly argued and urgently needed book - highly comic and deadly serious - is precisely what feminism has been waiting for
