Brought to you by Penguin. As any feminist who talks about the problems of girls and women will know, the first question you will ever be asked is 'But what about MEN?' After eleven years of writing bestsellers about women and dismissing this question, having been very sure that the concerns of feminism and men are very different things, Caitlin Moran realised that this wasn't quite right, and that the problems of feminism are also the problems of, yes, men. So, what about men? Why do they only go to the doctor if their wife or girlfriend makes them? Why do they never discuss their penises with each other - but make endless jokes about their balls? What is porn doing for young men? Is their fondness for super-skinny jeans leading to an epidemic of bad mental health? Are men allowed to be sad? Are men allowed to lose? Have Men's Rights Activists confused 'power' with 'empowerment'? And is Jordan B Peterson just your mum - but with some mad theory about a lobster? In this book, Caitlin intends to answer all this and more - because if men haven't yet answered the question 'What About Men?', it's going to be down to a busy woman to do it. ©2023 Caitlin Moran (P)2023 Penguin Audio

La continuación del ya clásico Cómo ser mujer: Caitlin Moran nos cuenta qué es ser una cuarentona y no morir en el intento. ¿Quién dijo que convertirse en una mujer de mediana edad iba a ser una tarea fácil? Caitlin Moran, que arrasó con aquel tronchante y lúcido manifiesto de feminismo asilvestrado titulado Cómo ser mujer, regresa con una secuela que desmonta la teoría de que segundas partes nunca fueron buenas, dada la espectacularidad de esta. Si en la anterior entrega hablaba la joven Caitlin, aquí es la cuarentona la que vuelve a la carga. Ahora las experiencias vitales son otras y han cambiado algunas prioridades y puntos de vista, pero la pluma con la que escribe sigue afiladísima. A mitad de camino entre la crónica personal, el manifiesto hilarante y la guía para hacerse mayor sin morir en el intento, este libro, ordenado siguiendo las horas de un día cualquiera, aborda temas como la tiranía de las listas de tareas pendientes; el sexo conyugal en las parejas con hijos y el denominado Polvo de Mantenimiento; las dudas sobre si una feminista puede ponerse bótox; las posturas de yoga para relajarse; la flaccidez del cuerpo cuando nos plantamos ante el espejo; las malditas tareas domésticas; las diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en los procesos y tiempos para excitarse sexualmente; cómo lidiar con las crisis de las hijas adolescentes (incluidos los trastornos alimentarios y las tentativas de suicidio); cómo lidiar con los achaques de unos padres ancianos... El volumen incluye una gloriosa lista de objetos inútiles que una acumula en casa pese a saber que jamás los va a volver a utilizar (desde una máquina para hacer pasta hasta unas medias de rejilla) y culmina con una apoteósica versión en femenino del famoso poema de Kipling «Si». En tiempos propensos a los dogmas de fe, la corrección política y la autocensura, es maravilloso comprobar que la Caitlin Moran de mediana edad sigue tan procaz, ingeniosa, aguda, feroz, inteligente y lúcida como siempre, con su feminismo grouchomarxista funcionando a toda máquina. «Maravillosamente divertida, la tronchante y emotiva continuación de Cómo ser mujer explora las espinosas realidades de la mediana edad» (Fiona Sturges, The Guardian). «Algunos capítulos son sumamente divertidos y otros abordan temas duros... Los lectores encontrarán consuelo y humor en las francas y muy sinceras reflexiones de Moran» (Publishers Weekly). «Examina la mediana edad, el papel de madre, el sexo y, por supuesto, el feminismo con el ingenio marca de la casa de Moran» (The Evening Standard). «Hilarante, irreverente... El humor y la rabia siguen presentes, pero también la humildad y la alegría de vivir» (Lorraine Berry, Los Angeles Times). «Tiene momentos descacharrantes... Un libro ferozmente honesto» (Sarah Ditum, The Times). «Ojalá hubiera leído este libro hace cuarenta años. Pero más vale tarde que nunca. Tenéis que leerlo» (Hugh Laurie). «Adoro, admiro e incluso diría que soy adicta a los libros de Caitlin Moran» (Nigella Lawson).

Brought to you by Penguin. A decade ago, Caitlin Moran thought she had it all figured out. Her instant bestseller How to Be a Woman was a game-changing take on feminism, the patriarchy, and the general ‘hoo-ha’ of becoming a woman. Back then, she firmly believed ‘the difficult bit’ was over, and her forties were going to be a doddle. If only she had known: when middle age arrives, a whole new bunch of tough questions need answering. Why isn’t there such a thing as a ‘Mum Bod’? How did sex get boring? What are men really thinking? Where did all that stuff in the kitchen drawers come from? Can feminists have Botox? Why has wine turned against you? How can you tell the difference between a Teenage Micro-Breakdown, and The Real Thing? Has feminism gone too far? And, as always, WHO’S LOOKING AFTER THE CHILDREN? Now with ageing parents, teenage daughters, a bigger bum and a To-Do list without end, Caitlin Moran is back with More Than A Woman: a guide to growing older, a manifesto for change, and a celebration of all those middle-aged women who keep the world turning. © Caitlin Moran 2020 (P) Penguin Audio 2020

What do you do in your teenage years when you realize what your parents taught you wasn't enough? You must go out and find books and poetry and pop songs and bad heroes, and build yourself. It's 1990. Johanna Morrigan, fourteen, has shamed herself so badly on local TV that she decides that there's no point in being Johanna anymore and reinvents herself as Dolly Wilde, fast-talking, hard-drinking gothic hero and full-time Lady Sex Adventurer. She will save her poverty-stricken Bohemian family by becoming a writer, like Jo in Little Women, or the Bront's, but without the dying-young bit. By sixteen, she's smoking cigarettes, getting drunk, and working for a music paper. She's writing pornographic letters to rock stars, having all the kinds of sex with all the kinds of men, and eviscerating bands in reviews of 600 words or less. But what happens when Johanna realizes she's built Dolly with a fatal flaw? Is a box full of records, a wall full of posters, and a head full of paperbacks enough to build a girl after all? Imagine The Bell Jar, written by Rizzo from Grease. How to Build a Girl is a funny, poignant, and heartbreakingly evocative story of self-discovery and invention, as only Caitlin Moran could tell it.

MORANTHOLOGY is proof that Caitlin can actually be 'quite chatty' about many other things, including cultural, social and political issues which are usually the province of learned professors, or hot-shot wonks - and not a woman who once, as an experiment, put a wasp in a jar, and got it stoned.

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.
