Listen to the brand new dramatisation of How To Be a Woman, narrated by Caitlin herself, as part of BBC Radio 4's Riot Girls season Selected by Emma Watson for her feminist book club Our Shared Shelf It's a good 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? And why does everyone ask you when you're going to have a baby? Part memoir, part rant, Caitlin answers the questions that every modern woman is asking.
”En pragtfuld, nødvendig bog.” – New York TimesDet er rart at være kvinde i det nye årtusind: Vi har både stemmeret og p-piller, og der er ingen, der har brændt os på bålet som hekse siden 1727. Men et par spørgsmål trænger sig dog stadig på … Hvad er ideen med botox, brazilians og silikonebryster? Hvorfor spørger alle, hvornår man har tænkt sig at få børn? Og hvordan kan det være, at mange trusser er så bittesmå?I denne vidunderligt rablende debatmemoir følger vi Caitilin Moran fra hendes katastrofale trettenårs fødselsdag forbi teenageårene og ind i voksenlivet. Hun tackler alt fra kærlighed, overvægt og arbejdsliv til aborter, tøjkriser, onani og moderskab i dette feministiske livtag med det moderne kvindeliv. ”bogen der vil definere feminisme for denne generation af kvinder.” - Politiken
Året er 1990. Johanna Morrigan er 14 år og har dummet sig offentligt i en sådan grad, at der må ske noget drastisk. Altså genopfinder hun sig selv som Dolly Wilde: sortklædt femme fatale med gothlook og et vildt sexliv. Hun vil være forfatter og redde sin fattige bohemefamilie. Akkurat som Brontë-søstrene, bare uden dét med at dø ung. Som 16-årig arbejder hun som nådesløs anmelder for et musikmagasin, sover sin brandert ud i rockstjerners badekar og har al mulig sex med alle mulige mænd. Men hvad sker der, når Johanna opdager, at hun har skabt Dolly med en fatal brist? Hvad skal der egentlig til for at opfinde en pige?
I ve lived through ten iOS upgrades on my Mac and that s just something I use to muck about on Twitter. Surely capitalism is due an upgrade or two? When Caitlin Moran sat down to choose her favourite pieces for her new book she realised that they all seemed to join up. Turns out, it s the same old problems and the same old ass-hats.Then she thought of the word Moranifesto , and she knew what she had to do This is Caitlin s engaging and amusing rallying call for our times. Combining the best of her recent columns with lots of new writing unique to this book, Caitlin deals with topics as pressing and diverse as 1980s swearing, benefits, boarding schools, and why the internet is like a drunken toddler.And whilst never afraid to address the big issues of the day such as Benedict Cumberbatch and duffel coats Caitlin also makes a passionate effort to understand our 21st century society and presents us with her Moranifesto for making the world a better place.The polite revolution starts here! Please.

Fifteen-year-old Morag Narmo really doesn't want to go to school any more. She and her siblings would rather feed their heads into the waste-disposal unit than "e;do the academical"e;. So they are all stunned when their parents whisk them out of school and embark on a home-schooling experiment. But with five children, two unruly pets and some extremely eccentric attitudes, the educational experiment soon descends into chaos...Witty, razor-sharp and laugh-out-loud funny, The Chronicles of Narmo show us how before Caitlin Moran knew How to be a Woman, she had to find out How to be a Girl.
Possibly the only drawback about the bestselling How To Be A Woman was that its author, Caitlin Moran, was limited to pretty much one subject: being a woman.In MORANTHOLOGY Caitlin 'gets quite chatty about many subjects, including cultural, social and political issues which are usually left to hot-shot wonks and not a woman who sometimes keeps a falafel in her handbag. These other subjects include...Caffeine | Ghostbusters | Being Poor | Twitter | Caravans | Obama | Wales | Paul McCartney | The Welfare State | Sherlock | David Cameron Looking Like Ham | Amy Winehouse | The Big Society | Big Hair | Nutter-letters | Michael Jackson's funeral | Failed Nicknames | Wolverhampton | Squirrels Testicles | Sexy Tax | Binge-drinking | Chivalry | Rihanna s Cardigan | Party Bags | Hot People| Transsexuals | The Gay Moon Landings
