Recensione:

“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)

“Scathingly funny....Moran makes us think about femininity and feminism, and whether you agree or not, she’s fascinating.” (People (3 ½ stars))

“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)
