How to Be a Woman - Tapa blanda

"It is bracing in this season of losing [Nora] Ephron to discover a younger feminist writer who scrimmages with the patriarchy and drop kicks zingers with comic flair....A must-read for anyone curious to find out just how very funny a self-proclaimed 'strident feminist' can be."--Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air

"A fresh, funny take on modern feminism that shines a light on issues facing every woman, lovingly boiled down to the basics with insight and humor."--Today Show

"Caitlin Moran taught me more about being a woman than being a woman did. I'm pretty sure I had testicles before I read this book."--Jenny Lawson, author of Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir

"There are lots of things to love about Caitlin Moran's How to Be a Woman....A glorious, timely stand against sexism so ingrained we barely even notice it. It is, in the dour language [Moran] militates so brilliantly against, a book that needed to be written."--New York Times

"The UK's answer to Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, and Lena Dunham all rolled into one."--Marie Claire

"Moran's frank wit is appealing."--The New Yorker

"A hilarious neo-feminist manifesto....Moran reinvigorates women's lib with her personal and political polemic."--NPR.org

"There is a good reason for [its success]: it is pretty phenomenal....[Moran] wrote the book in just 5 months....Chances are you'll read it in far less time than that, turning down the corners of extra-resonating pages to come back to later."--Jenn Doll, The Atlantic Wire

"With her drunk-on-gin-with-my-lady-friends honesty and humor, Moran, a Times of London columnist, snips the man out of manifesto, spinning her message of radically sensible female empowerment."--Vanity Fair.com

"Bravely and brilliantly weaves personal anecdotes and cutting insight into a book that is at once instructional, confessional, and a call for change....Moran shifts effortlessly between her own hilarious experiences and larger questions about women's place in the modern world."--Interview Magazine
