Kathy Lette is a celebrated and outspoken comic writer who has an inimitable take on serious current issues. She is one of the pioneering voices of contemporary feminism, paving the way for Caitlin Moran and Lena Dunham.

She first achieved succès de scandale as a teenager with the novel Puberty Blues, which was made into a major film and a TV mini-series. After several years as a newspaper columnist and TV sitcom writer in America and Australia, she’s written 11 international bestsellers in her characteristic witty voice, including Mad Cows, How to Kill Your Husband - and Other Handy Household Hints (staged by the Victorian opera) and The Boy Who Fell to Earth. She is known for her regular appearances on BBC and Sky news programmes. She is an ambassador for Women and Children First, Plan International, the White Ribbon Alliance and the NAS.

Kathy Lette lives in London with her husband, her autistic son (the actor Julius Robertson) and daughter, and can often be found at The Savoy drinking a cocktail named after her. Kathy is an autodidact (a word she taught herself), but has honorary doctorates from Southampton Solent and Wollongong Universities and a Senior Fellowship from Regent’s College.

De la solapa interior

'Why don't women tell jokes?

Because we marry them.'

Men: can't live with them - can't bury them under the patio because the neighbours might see.

In this mischievous guide to surviving the battle of the sexes, bestselling novelist Kathy Lette, 'the wittiest woman in London' (Evening Standard) serves up some wit and wisdom to get you through every situation, from breakfast in bed ('Tell him to sleep in the kitchen') to negotiating relationships ('Love prepares you for marriage the way needlepoint prepares you for round-the-world solo yachting') to religion ('All husbands think they're Gods. If only their wives weren't atheists').

The best bloke-baiting one-liners from the Queen of the Quip make this the perfect handbook for women who like to shoot from the lip.
