confessionsofacreativewriter: HACKED OFF. Sodding Edinburgh Book Festival tickets went on sale this sodding morning and I totally forgot until I got to work. Some miscommunication meant I thought my Mum had bought tickets and when I got home she hadn’t and the buggering Caitlin Moran event is sold out! If anyone on tumblr knows anyone with a spare ticket can they please get in touch? Long shot,...

butilikeithere: And at the most dysfunctional end, of course, there are kamikaze girls who wade into war with their pituitary- trying to starve it, or confuse it to defeat, with anorexia or bulimia. But the problem with battling with yourself is that even if you win, you lose. At some point, - scarred, and exhausted -you either accept that you must become a woman - that you are a woman - or you...

bibliofeminista: OK, the back of your book says you’ve rewritten The Female Eunuch from a bar Well, I’d always described myself as a feminist, but it seemed increasingly that my idea of what a feminist is was completely at odds with what professional feminists out there were doing and saying. It came to a head when I went to a meeting and there was a massive row about pornography, and all the...

FuckYeahCaitlinMoran just searched the Tumblr tags for “clown porn” hoping for Newsnight mentions and found ACTUAL clown porn.

petitefeministe: Laurie Penny on Caitlin Moran’s How To Be a Woman: Being a feminist this summer is pretty exciting. It’s like we’ve all been at some dull charity drinks reception and someone has hit the lights, jacked some power ballads into the speaker system and said: ladies – let’s get messy. First, there were the SlutWalks, when all at once, as if from nowhere, brave, angry women all...

Caitlin Moran's Feminist Handbook: Panel Verdict →

From Laurie Penny: “Caitlin Moran’s new tome isn’t your classic feminist handbook. It’s as much about taking ecstasy and being a gobby teenage music journalist in the 1990s as it is a total rundown of the existential dilemmas of western womanhood. It’s the gutsy, smutty autobiography of a rockstar feminist, exquisitely well-written, stained with fag ash and...

charlottecollection: # 45 How To Be A Woman, Caitlin Moran I must take advice from the book and proclaim I AM A STRIDENT FEMINIST! This book rules. It has all of Caitlin Moran’s trademark witticisms, it had me laughing out loud and feeling like if I met her we could go to the pub and have the kind of…

Her new book has shocked Germaine Greer… but wait till the Spice Girls get a load of it ”[…] I’d kept a diary since I was 10, and writing is still the easiest thing out of anything in the world. I genuinely miss writing now on the rare days I don’t write; my mouth waters when I think about writing, and I have an extreme physical reaction to the idea of doing it. Because...
