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?
