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.

Caitlin Moran is the eldest of eight children, home-educated on a council estate in Wolverhampton, believing that if she were very good and worked very hard, she might one day evolve into Bill Murray.

She published a childrens novel,The Chronicles of Narmo, at the age of 16, and became a columnist atThe Timesat 18. She has gone on to be named Columnist of the Year six times. At one point, she was also Interviewer and Critic of the Year - which is good going for someone who still regularly mistypes the as hte. Her multi-award-winning bestsellerHow to Be a Womanhas been published in 28 countries, and won the British Book Awards Book of the Year 2011. Her two volumes of collected journalism,MoranthologyandMoranifesto, wereSunday Timesbestsellers, and her novel,How to Build a Girl, debuted at Number One, and is currently being adapted as a movie. She co-wrote two series of the Rose dOr-winning Channel 4 sitcomRaised by Wolveswith her sister, Caroline.

Caitlin lives on Twitter with her husband and two children, where she spends her time tweeting either about civil rights issues, or that picture of Bruce Springsteen when he was 23, and has his top off. She would like to be remembered as a very sexual humanitarian.
