About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A decade ago, Caitlin Moran thought she had it all figured out. Her instant best seller 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 40s 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.

A gin & tonic for the soul

Echo other comments about something good coming out of 2020, aka this book. I'm going to have to listen to it a second time because I feel sure I must have missed some things and I need to drain every bit of knowledge from it.

Themes; Sex in long term relationships, eating disorders, over 40s, life advice (as in, don't marry a ****) unknowing all you know, embracing botox, finding yoga, the place of woman at the hard of the community, update on what is happening with the manfolk, Its very cis female / parent perspective but its so good, In-fact as women we should all be handed a copy of this on reaching our 40 birthday,

Summary: Caitlin Moran is a shiny queen among pennies, let her distribute her magic fairy-dust of knowledge and words upon you. You need this dusting in your ears. Dust it up! Make dust great again. It's fabulous.

Yes!

Another amazing book and major think piece from this author. I was reluctant to read/listen to this one as How to be a Woman is one of my favourite books ever, however Caitlin Moran has done a superb job. I’m not quite at the stage she is yet but now aspire to be a hag one day.

Wonderful insight

Always witty and laugh out loud funny - Caitlin nailed the trauma of middle age as well. Does she have secret cameras in my house? It could have been my life she was writing about. Loved it.

Anecdotes, analysis and advice

Moran expresses her ideas on issues so eloquently and clearly that I am now better able to articulate my own ideas about these topics. The structure weaves together insights into her daily life with broader societal observations about ageing, the mental load, parenting, feminism, patriarchal vales and their negative effects on both women and men, marriage, division of labour, and female friendship. I enjoyed the time spent listening to her thoughts and experiences.

Compulsory listening for parents!

Could have lived without the chapter on sneezing but otherwise an excellent and entertaining treatise on modern society.
