More Than a Woman by Caitlin Moran

More Than a Woman by Caitlin Moran

A Good Morning America Book Pick

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.

What really happens after you figure out How to Be a Woman?

• A Confessional Memoir: Brutally honest and scathingly funny, Moran picks up where she left off, chronicling a new decade of hangovers, existential crises, and figuring it all out. Again.
• Long-Term Marriage: From the 'Maintenance Shag' to figuring out whose turn it is to take out the bins, a hilarious look at what keeps love alive after the kids and chaos have moved in.
• Aging and Feminism: Tackling the questions everyone is thinking: Can feminists have Botox? Why do all your clothes suddenly hate you? And is it time to finally embrace the wattle?
• The Second Shift: A deep dive into the reality of becoming 'Janet'--the capable, middle-aged woman who holds the fabric of society together, one endless To Do List at a time.
