There´s never been a better 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? Why does your bra hurt? And why does everyone ask you when you´re going to have a baby?

Brilliant!! That´s all I can say :)

A birthday surprise for bethieb through the birthday group! Hope you will enjoy this wishlist book :)

Thank you Bjorg for helping to make my birthday extra special with this book from my wishlist! I'm really looking forward to getting into it.

I'm about a generation older than Caitlin Moran and I missed out of most of the pop culture references in the book, but I still liked what she had to say about being a woman and a feminist. There were some really thought provoking sections that women should definitely consider.

Thanks again to Bjorg for sharing this with me and making my b-day (and last week during a big snow storm) much brighter!

I'm sending this to Firegirl to fulfill a wish. Happy reading!

Arrived safe and sound in Virginia! This arrived just a few days after my 40th birthday; seems like a great book to celebrate such an event. Thanks so much!

I rather liked this. Moran has great thoughts on feminism, the vast majority I agree with. I think what I appreciated most was her “don’t do this! Unless you want to!” attitude. (Ex. “Women shouldn’t cram their feet into ridiculous heels. Unless THEY want to wear ridiculous heels.”) Oftentimes, I find feminist writings to be dictatorial (the whole “femi-nazi” thing) and I appreciate that she leaves space for women to be their own people. Additionally, Caitlan is very, very funny. I laughed out loud several times while reading this (which garnered strange looks at the airport). Her work is very approachable and readable. Recommended.

Sending off to a non-BC friend who has it on her personal TBR list. (Counts for the "Keep Them Moving" release challenge)
