How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran - Very Good
I loved Caitlin Moran's fictionalised version of her childhood - Raised by Wolves - on TV, so thought I'd give this a whirl.
Now I'm an old school women's libber. Things have moved on a long way since I was rebuking interviewers for asking me when I was going to get married and have children (the law was in place supposedly preventing the question being asked, but it never stopped them), when I couldn't open a bank account without my father co-signing the application, when my boss could ask me to do his typing if the secretary was off (I was a computer programmer!) etc. I don't really need a lesson in how far we have and haven't come. But the fight isn't over. We've come a long way but there is still along way to go. That being said, there is still a place for a book where a committed feminist tells how it has affected her life to date....and telling it with humour.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
