Caitlin Moran is a Times columnist and all-round brilliant woman, as far as I am concerned, so I came into this expecting to like it. I've followed her on Twitter for a while and know how funny she is.

I thought this book was really good. She explores modern feminism through her life experiences, and certainly isn't afraid to go where most women might be scared. She talks about periods, pubic hair and abortions with honesty and humour, and I genuinely found this book uplifting, hilarious and challenging. The part on accepting death was especially poignant and lovely for me.

Personally I think it's fantastic that someone is willing to write down these things without concern for what people might say or think of them, in order to point out some of the ridiculous standards that we have come to accept as normal.

She encourages women to see themselves as feminist without having to metaphorically burn bras or hate men, and this is something that I've been thinking about and yet not managed to vocalise quite as well as this for a long time!

All in all definitely a fab read, although (from the title I think this is obvious) probably more geared towards a female audience. Although I think it'd teach some men a few things they'd be completely astounded at!
