The author of "How to Be a Woman" presents a humorous confessional memoir that reflects on the lighter side of the patriarchy while exploring topics ranging from middle age, parenting, and marriage to feminism and existential crises.
The best-selling author of How to Be a Woman presents an uproarious confessional memoir that reflects on the lighter side of the patriarchy while exploring topics ranging from adolescence and strip clubs to feminism and middle age. 25,000 first printing.
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.
