505 0 Prologue : The worst birthday ever -- I start bleeding! --
I become furry! -- I don't know what to call my breasts! -
- I am a feminist! -- I need a bra! -- I am fat! -- I
encounter some sexism! -- I am in love! -- I go lap-
dancing! -- I get married! -- I get into fashion! -- Why
you should have children -- Why you shouldn't have
children -- Role models and what we do with them --
Abortion -- Intervention -- Postscript.
520 Though they have the vote and the Pill and haven't been
burned as witches since 1727, life isn't exactly a stroll
down the catwalk for modern women. They are beset by
uncertainties and questions: Why are they supposed to get
Brazilians? Why do bras hurt? Why the incessant talk about
babies? And do men secretly hate them? Caitlin Moran
interweaves provocative observations on women's lives with
laugh-out-loud funny scenes from her own, from the riot of
adolescence to her development as a writer, wife, and
mother. With rapier wit, Moran slices right to the truth--
whether it's about the workplace, strip clubs, love, fat,
abortion, popular entertainment, or children--to jump-
start a new conversation about feminism. With humor,
insight, and verve, How To Be a Woman lays bare the
reasons why female rights and empowerment are essential
issues not only for women today but also for society
itself.
