Listen to the brand new dramatisation of How To Be a Woman, narrated by Caitlin herself, as part of BBC Radio 4’s Riot Girls season
Selected by Emma Watson for her feminist book club ‘Our Shared Shelf’
It’s a good time to be a woman: we have the vote and the Pill, and we haven’t been burnt as witches since 1727. However, a few nagging questions do remain…
Why are we supposed to get Brazilians? Should we use Botox? Do men secretly hate us? And why does everyone ask you when you’re going to have a baby?
Part memoir, part rant, Caitlin answers the questions that every modern woman is asking.

Very funny, reassuring and potentially transformative - a book that reinvigorated the young feminist movement. I'd really recommend it for its frank honesty about female rites of passage, from leg-shaving and periods to childbirth and motherhood.
