Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Sophie

Caitlin Moran writes from her own experiences, and there is usually some common thread that makes it enjoyable for readers from many backgrounds and experiences. This book, however, is probably interesting and relatable if you are a straight, middle-class married woman with children and the privileg......more

Моран полюбилась многим за свой подростковый мемуар о том, как сложно быть девочкой, и вот сюрприз: женщиной быть еще сложнее. Я не очень люблю, когда в книгах постоянно и до изнеможения шутят (Эми Шумер, Адам Кей, Кэрри Фишер etc) и потому первые главы не испытывала ничего, кроме раздражения, и чут......more

Goodreads review by Alex

So here’s the thing - objectively this book is funny and insightful and so well written I want to befriend the author and convince her to narrate my life. But! This is not a community & culture book. This is a memoir because no matter how relatable it is, it casts tooooooo many generalization on wha......more
