The follow-up to the international bestseller and multi-award-winning How To Be a Woman, with Caitlin exploring the lives of older women in her inimitable style.
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'.
I adore, admire and - more - am addicted to Caitin Moran's
writing
*Nigella Lawson*
This book is a hilarious memoir, a passionate polemic, and a moving
manifesto on how to be a decent person and try, in the face of
countless stresses, to live a full open-hearted, joyous life
*Sunday Times*
Superbly funny
*Guardian*
She writes with such heartening VIM and warmth about all the
important stuff. More Than A Woman is my FRIEND, untangling a lot
of my confusion about doing feminism right
*Marian Keyes*
Exceptionally brilliant and powerful. Her new book is incredible -
I shrieked with laughter throughout and probably cried solidly for
the last 30 pages. She is simply one of the most significant people
of her generation. Her writing has helped so many.
*Marina Hyde*
I wish I'd read Caitlin Moran's More Than A Woman 40 years ago. But
like with the tree-planting, the second best time is now. You just
have to.
*Hugh Laurie*
One of very few who can write inspirationally without becoming
platitudinous. Her prose is so lucid and personal and funny you
don't even notice that what you're reading is a manifesto.
*David Baddiel*
Warning - you won't sleep until you've inhaled every single word
... BUY IT IMMEDIATELY
*Claudia Winkleman*
More Than a Woman examines middle age, motherhood, sex and, of
course, feminism all with Moran's signature wit.
*Evening Standard*
Funny, life-affirming and wise.
*The Observer*
