Publisher Description
The New York Times bestseller, now available in paperback—“Half memoir, half polemic, and entirely necessary,” (Elle UK) Caitlin Moran’s debut—an instant runaway bestseller in the UK—puts a new face on feminism, cutting to the heart of issues with an irreverent, transcendent, and hilarious touch.
“Caitlin Moran is the profane, witty and wonky best friend I wish I had. She’s the feminist rock star we need right now.” —Ayelet Waldman, author of Bad Mother

Caitlin Moran puts a new face on feminism, cutting to the heart of women’s issues today with her irreverent, transcendent, and hilarious How to Be a Woman. “Half memoir, half polemic, and entirely necessary,” (Elle UK), Moran’s debut was an instant runaway bestseller in England as well as an Amazon UK Top Ten book of the year; still riding high on bestseller lists months after publication, it is a bona fide cultural phenomenon. Now poised to take American womanhood by storm, here is a book that Vanity Fair calls “the U.K. version of Tina Fey’s Bossypants….You will laugh out loud, wince, and—in my case—feel proud to be the same gender as the author.”

“So joyful, so free of the piety that has felled many a worthier title and—this is its real value—so liable to find readers who in a million years wouldn’t identify with Susan Faludi, that it feels like a rare case of winning the argument…How to Be a Woman is a glorious, timely stand against sexism so ingrained we barely even notice it. It is, in the dour language she militates so brilliantly against, a book that needed to be written.”

— Publishers Weekly (starred review) -
“The hilarious Caitlin Moran offers plenty of insight into her life and times in this book aimed at enlightening women (and any brave men)…Moran narrates in an off-the-cuff tone that is at once down-to-earth and inviting. Her performance in reminiscent of and old friend offering solid advice without ever being preachy or didactic. Moran’s stories are entertaining, and her narration demonstrates an inherent skill at performance.”
— Publishers Weekly (audio review) -
“A spirited memoir/manifesto…with equal amounts snarky brio and righteous anger…That such an important topic is couched in ribald humor makes reading about Moran’s journey hilarious as well as provocative…Rapturously irreverent, this book should kick-start plenty of useful discussions.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review) -
“With her drunk-on-gin-with-my-lady-friends honesty and humor, Moran, a Times of London columnist, snips the man out of manifesto, spinning her message of radically sensible female empowerment.”
— Vanity Fair
