How to Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran
4.0
4.5 stars
Oelalala, what an experience. I bought this book in my early stages of feminism and 3 years later started and finished reading it. Caitlin Moran is one of the many 'idols' in my feminist journey and I am forever thankful for knowledge she has provided for me and so many other young girls trying to find their way into this movement. Feminists aren't always the angry, bra-burning "sociopaths" many envision they might be. Throughout reading this book, which is btw immensely funny, I have become more informed but also less angry about certain things in the patriarchy. I do, highly, recommend this book to any woman who is interested or needs an eye-opining book about this subject.
Anyway, I really enjoyed reading this book and I loved hearing it (audiobook) with Moran's voice. I did give it a 4.5 stars because at some moments in this book I did find the personal stories of Moran either boring, long-dreaded or just not fitting for the book. BUT, these stories where mainly funny and relatable and this book made me respect Caitlin Moran even more than I already did.
