How To Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran

2.0

I read it first in 2019. Reread it a month ago and was disappointed I remembered it wrong. The references are mostly to british stuff that fly over my head, making large parts of the book unrelatable. I understand that this is the authors perspective of womanhood but it is not universal. Not all are white, or cis or straight etc. The first time I read it it seemed like a feminist manifesto. Now that I have studied gender studies I am a bit disappointed in the book.
