Caitlin Moran

A new way of looking at feminism from one of our funniest writers

My name's Johanna Morrigan. I'm fourteen, and I've just decided to kill myself. I don't really want to die, of course! I just need to kill Johanna, and build a new girl. Dolly Wilde will be everything I want to be, and more! But as with all the best coming-of-age stories, it doesn't exactly go to plan...This is the brilliant Number One bestselling novel from Caitlin Moran, the award-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of How to Be a Woman.

Co byste udělali, kdybyste během dospívání zjistili, že to, co vás naučili rodiče, prostě nestačí? Píše se rok 1990. Čtrnáctiletá Johanna Morriganová si v místní televizi utrhla tak příšernou ostudu, že se rozhodla, že nemá žádný důvod být dál Johannou. A tak si vymyslí identitu Dolly Wildeové - hubaté gotické hrdinky a sexuální průzkumnice se zálibou v alkoholu!

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.

`I've lived through ten iOS upgrades on my Mac - and that's just something I use to muck about on Twitter. Surely capitalism is due an upgrade or two?' When Caitlin Moran sat down to choose her favourite pieces for her new book she realised that they all seemed to join up. Turns out, it's the same old problems and the same old ass-hats. Then she thought of the word `Moranifesto', and she knew what she had to do... This is Caitlin's engaging and amusing rallying call for our times. Combining the best of her recent columns with lots of new writing unique to this book, Caitlin deals with topics as pressing and diverse as 1980s swearing, benefits, boarding schools, and why the internet is like a drunken toddler. And whilst never afraid to address the big issues of the day - such as Benedict Cumberbatch and duffel coats - Caitlin also makes a passionate effort to understand our 21st century society and presents us with her `Moranifesto' for making the world a better place. The polite revolution starts here! Please.

I'm Johanna Morrigan, and I live in London in 1995, at the epicentre of Britpop. I might only be nineteen, but I'm wise enough to know that everyone around me is handling fame very, very badly. My unrequited love, John Kite, has scored an unexpected Number One album, then exploded into a Booze And Drugs HellTM - as rockstars do. And my new best friend - the maverick feminist Suzanne Banks, of The Branks - has amazing hair, but writer's block and a rampant pill problem. So I've decided I should become a Fame Doctor. I'm going to use my new monthly column for The Face to write about every ridiculous, surreal, amazing aspect of a million people knowing your name. But when my two-night-stand with edgy comedian Jerry Sharp goes wrong, people start to know my name for all the wrong reasons. `He's a vampire. He destroys bright young girls. Also, he's a total dick' Suzanne warned me. But by that point, I'd already had sex with him. Bad sex. Now I'm one of the girls he's trying to destroy. He needs to be stopped. But how can one woman stop a bad, famous, powerful man?

The Sunday Times bestselling Richard & Judy Book Club favourite 'Being Moran, the jokes and one-liners fizz and crackle off the page' Richard's Review 'As usual, Moran writes fearlessly, openly, honestly and incredibly funnily about sex - especially bad sex' Judy's Review ___________________________ I'm Johanna Morrigan.

Unfortunately, I've already had sex with him. Bad sex. And now, I'm one of the girls he is trying to destroy. I know I have to stop him. But how does one girl fight a famous, powerful man? A novel about friendship, feminism and finding your place in the world.

Egy meghökkentő és merész könyv arról, mit jelent nőnek lenni, és miként érezhetjük jól magunkat a bőrünkben. Caitlin Moran meghökkentő és merész: nem lehet szó nélkül elmenni mellette. Ami a szívén, az a száján: nem fél attól, hogy a legkínosabb kérdéseket feszegesse, s hogy nevén nevezze a dolgokat. Azt vallja, ha megosztjuk másokkal nőiségünk sötét, sokáig rejtett titkait, felszabadulunk. Ráadásként pedig mindeközben nagyszerűen szórakozhatunk is. Könyve Nagy-Britanniában heteken át szerepelt az eladási listák élén, tizenhat országban jelent meg, és kb. 400 ezer példány kelt el belőle. A Hogyan legyünk tökös csajok egyszerre memoár és önsegítő mű. Igaz, nem a klasszikus fajtából. Pimasz, vállaltan szexista és arcpirítóan őszinte: Caitlin saját élményeiből építkezett, s - valljuk be - volt miből. Első menstruáció, önkielégítés, pornófogyasztás, egy duci lány plátói szerelme a menő fiú iránt, a szüzesség elvesztése, abortusz: minden nővel megtörténik vagy megtörténhet, de messze nem mindenki beszél róla. Moran kendőzetlenül ír minderről. Mindazok, akik értékelik a szókimondást és a fanyar humort, akik kíváncsiak arra, mitől nő manapság a nő, s akik készek arra, hogy nevessenek az őket körülvevő világon és persze mindenekelőtt önmagukon, azok értékelni fogják ezt a vidám és könnyedségével együtt mégis elgondolkodtató könyvet.

A decade ago, Caitlin Moran thought she had it all figured out. Her instant bestseller How to Be a Woman was a game-changing take on feminism, the patriarchy, and the general 'hoo-ha' of becoming a woman. Back then, she firmly believed 'the difficult bit' was over, and her forties were going to be a doddle. If only she had known: when middle age arrives, a whole new bunch of tough questions need answering. Why isn't there such a thing as a 'Mum Bod'? How did sex get boring? What are men really thinking? Where did all that stuff in the kitchen drawers come from? Can feminists have Botox? Why has wine turned against you? How can you tell the difference between a Teenage Micro-Breakdown, and The Real Thing? Has feminism gone too far? And, as always, WHO'S LOOKING AFTER THE CHILDREN? Now with ageing parents, teenage daughters, a bigger bum and a To-Do list without end, Caitlin Moran is back with More Than A Woman: a guide to growing older, a manifesto for change, and a celebration of all those middle-aged women who keep the world turning.
