Feminism isn’t a bad word. Caitlin Moran, in her new book, How to be a Woman, makes feminist issues hilarious while demonstrating that female empowerment issues are as relevant today as they ever were. There is no angry man-hating going on here, just light, straight talk about sexism, love, beauty, and life in general. How to be a Woman is a thought-provoking, somewhat curse-word strewn, feminist memoir that both men and women can laugh over and discuss.
