As any feminist who talks about the problems of girls and women will know, the first question you will ever be asked is 'But what about MEN?' After eleven years of writing bestsellers about women and dismissing this question, having been very sure that the concerns of feminism and men are very different things, Caitlin Moran realised that this wasn't quite right, and that the problems of feminism are also the problems of, yes, men.
So, what about men? Why do they only go to the doctor if their wife or girlfriend makes them? Why do they never discuss their penises with each other - but make endless jokes about their balls? What is porn doing for young men? Is their fondness for super-skinny jeans leading to an epidemic of bad mental health? Are men allowed to be sad? Are men allowed to lose? Have Men's Rights Activists confused 'power' with 'empowerment'? And is Jordan B Peterson just your mum - but with some mad theory about a lobster?
In this book, Caitlin intends to answer all this and more - because if men haven't yet answered the question 'What About Men?', it's going to be down to a busy woman to do it.

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 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.

A Number One Sunday Times bestseller in hardback and paperback, from the award-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of How to Be a Woman.
Men are so last century. They seem to have stopped evolving. The Mad Men world is disappearing and the guys are struggling to figure out the altered parameters of manliness.’
Maureen Dowd
‘Do women get anything from men being obsolete? Do we win by triumphing in work, education, the economy, politics and business, while retaining homemaking and child rearing? If that happened then we will be doing everything! Are men obsolete? No! I won’t let you be you f*****s!’
Caitlin Moran
Are Men Obsolete is an essential and entertaining read for anyone interested in what happens next in the great gender discussion. Maureen Dowd, Caitlin Moran, Camille Paglia and Hanna Roisin debate whether modern man is past his sell-by-date, and, if so, what does that mean for women?
I'm Johanna Morrigan. It's 1995. I'm nineteen and I live in the epicentre of Britpop. Parklife!
My unrequited love, John Kite, is busy with a Number One album, world-tour, drugs, and a nervous breakdown.
So, I've started hanging out with hot young comedian Jerry Sharp. Big mistake.
"He's a vampire," my friend Suzanne warns. "One of those men who destroys bright young girls. Also, he's a total dick."
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.
Urodzona w robotniczej, wielodzietnej rodzinie Johanna Morrigan, wyrasta na niegrzeszącą urodą nastolatkę z nadwagą. Jest za to obdarzona talentem literackim, ciętym językiem, a do tego ma obsesję na punkcie seksu. Wielka Brytania przełomu lat 80 i 90-tych widziana jej oczami nabiera ciekawego kolorytu. Polityka, codzienność, używki i moralność mają tu różne odcienie. Czy Margarete Thatcher była politycznym geniuszem czy ciemiężycielką klasy robotniczej? Czy dziewczyna uprawiająca często sex z przygodnymi mężczyznami to zdzira czy Poszukiwaczka Seksualnych Przygód?Dziewczyna, którą nigdy nie byłam to opowieść o próbowaniu się ze światem, o przekraczaniu i wytyczaniu granic, o budowaniu siebie, swoich postaw i wartości. To pochwała indywidualizmu, odwagi i pogody ducha, ale to też książka o silnych emocjach, jakich doświadcza się mając naście lat.Dodatkowym walorem książki jest barwnie nakreślony londyński światek muzyczny tamtych lat. Skąpany w strumieniach alkoholu, okraszony wulgarnymi, a czasem lirycznymi anegdotami rozbrzmiewa na kartach tej książki przebojami alternatywnej sceny Madchester i zespołu Smashing Pumpkins.
