Ranging from Botox to motherhood and all points in between, How to be a Woman discusses taboo subjects with a wit and candour that is as revolutionary as it is hilarious.
Selected by Emma Watson for her feminist book club `Our Shared Shelf'
It's a good time to be a woman: we have the vote and the Pill, and we haven't been burnt as witches since 1727. However, a few nagging questions do remain...
Why are we supposed to get Brazilians? Should we use Botox? Do men secretly hate us? And why does everyone ask you when you're going to have a baby?
Part memoir, part rant, Caitlin answers the questions that every modern woman is asking.

A very interesting take on feminism in the 21st Century.
It was written in a very light hearted and fun way, although it covered some very difficult subject matter and issues.
This book really makes you think about...
