A Good Morning America Book Pick
The author of the international bestseller How to Be a Woman returns
with another "hilarious neo-feminist manifesto" (NPR) in which she
reflects on parenting, middle-age, marriage, existential crises--and, of
course, feminism.
A decade ago, Caitlin Moran burst onto the scene with her instant
bestseller, How to Be a Woman, a hilarious and resonant take on
feminism, the patriarchy, and all things womanhood. Moran's seminal book
followed her from her terrible 13th birthday through adolescence, the
workplace, strip-clubs, love, and beyond--and is considered the
inaugural work of the irreverent confessional feminist memoir genre that
continues to occupy a major place in the cultural landscape.
Since that publication, it's been a glorious ten years for young women:
Barack Obama loves Fleabag, and Dior make "FEMINIST" t-shirts.
However, middle-aged women still have some nagging, unanswered
questions: Can feminists have Botox? Why isn't there such a thing as
"Mum Bod"? Why do hangovers suddenly hurt so much? Is the camel-toe the
new erogenous zone? Why do all your clothes suddenly hate you? Has
feminism gone too far? Will your To Do List ever end? And WHO'S
LOOKING AFTER THE CHILDREN?
As timely as it is hysterically funny, this memoir/manifesto will have
readers laughing out loud, blinking back tears, and redefining their
views on feminism and the patriarchy. More Than a Woman is a brutally
honest, scathingly funny, and absolutely necessary take on the life of
the modern woman--and one that only Caitlin Moran can provide.**
