I read this on a friends recommendation years ago and didn't quite know what to make of it then or now either. Caitlin Moran is a great columnist and that is exactly how this book reads, skipping to the highlights whilst waiting for the kettle to boil a Sunday morning.
Whilst there was some insightful commentary about class struggle and growing up in Britain in the 80's, all things relating to 'female empowerment' was a bit patchy. I will say though that this book did introduce me to the idea of bodily autonomy and the importance of the 'right to choose' and or that I will be forever greatful for.
