How to be a Woman- Caitlin Moran


For anyone who has not already done so I would highly recommend purchasing a copy of this book. It provided me with many hours of merriment and was for want of a better phrase "un-put-downable". The book discusses feminist issues without being all shouty and Loose Women in yo' face and takes the image of feminism from this 

to this 
Which can only be a good thing.
For me the best part was the chapter dedicated to the re telling of a visit to a strip club, followed closely by the account of a week spent with Katie Price- only to discover that underneath that front of complete idiocy their lied puddle deep depths. Weather parting with Gaga in a Berlin gay club or discussing the merits of naming your breast after double acts (think Simon and Garfunkle) "How to be a Woman" says things that will make you nod along in total agreement whilst simultaneously waving  a fist at the "damn patriarchy!".
