Before the woman came the girl - Caitlin Moran's hilarious debut novel, inspired by her own childhood and written when she was just fifteen years old.
Before the woman came the girl - Caitlin Moran's hilarious debut novel, inspired by her own childhood and written when she was just fifteen years old.
Caitlin Moran is the eldest of eight children, home-educated on a
council estate in Wolverhampton, believing that if she were very
good and worked very hard, she might one day evolve into Bill
Murray.
She published a children's novel, The Chronicles of Narmo, at the
age of 16, and became a columnist at The Times at 18. She has gone
on to be named Columnist of the Year six times. At one point, she
was also Interviewer and Critic of the Year - which is good going
for someone who still regularly mistypes 'the' as 'hte'. Her
multi-award-winning bestseller How to Be a Woman has been published
in 28 countries, and won the British Book Awards' Book of the Year
2011. Her two volumes of collected journalism, Moranthology and
Moranifesto, were Sunday Times bestsellers, and her novel, How to
Build a Girl, debuted at Number One, and is currently being adapted
as a movie. She co-wrote two series of the Rose d'Or-winning
Channel 4 sitcom Raised by Wolves with her sister, Caroline.
Caitlin lives on Twitter with her husband and two children, where
she spends her time tweeting either about civil rights issues, or
that picture of Bruce Springsteen when he was 23, and has his top
off. She would like to be remembered as 'a very sexual
humanitarian'.
