How To Be a Woman

Listen to the brand new dramatisation of How To Be a Woman narrated by Caitlin herself as part of BBC Radio 4's Riot Girls season Selected by Emma Watson for her feminist book club ‘Our Shared Shelf’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. Review ""I adore admire and - more - am addicted to Caitin Moran's writing"" Nigella Lawson ""I have been waiting for this book my whole life"" Claudia Winkleman ""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 ""Moran's writing sparkles with wit and warmth. Like the confidences of your smartest friend"" Simon Pegg ""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 About the Author Caitlin Moran is the eldest of eight children home-educated on a council estate in Wolverhampton believing that if she were very good and worked very hard she might one day evolve into Bill Murray.She published a children’s novel The Chronicles of Narmo at the age of 16 and became a columnist at The Times at 18. She has gone on to be named Columnist of the Year six times. At one point she was also Interviewer and Critic of the Year - which is good going for someone who still regularly mistypes ‘the’ as ‘hte’. Her multi-award-winning bestseller How to Be a Woman has been published in 28 countries and won the British Book Awards’ Book of the Year 2011. Her two volumes of collected journalism Moranthology and Moranifesto were Sunday Times bestsellers and her novel How to Build a Girl debuted at Number One and is currently being adapted as a movie. She co-wrote two series of the Rose d’Or-winning Channel 4 sitcom Raised by Wolves with her sister Caroline.Caitlin lives on Twitter with her husband and two children where she spends her time tweeting either about civil rights issues or that picture of Bruce Springsteen when he was 23 and has his top off. She would like to be remembered as ‘a very sexual humanitarian’. p>b>br>Listen to the brand new dramatisation of i>How To Be a Woman/i>, narrated by Caitlin herself, as part of BBC Radio 4's Riot Girls season /b>br>br>b>Selected by Emma Watson for her feminist book club ‘Our Shared Shelf’br>/b>br>br>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.
