As a female columnist, I can't critique Caitlin Moran without feeling like I'm a busker yelling notes to Hendrix. My notes are useless, and ultimately, she can't hear me. My interest in feminism began largely because Caitlin Moran wrote How To Be A Woman ten years ago, and I've had a career in journalism that largely exists because Moran helped establish a category that made it possible.

The cultural debt I owe to Moran is insurmountable, and even though I don't read her so much these days, I st As a female columnist, I can't critique Caitlin Moran without feeling like I'm a busker yelling notes to Hendrix. The cultural debt I owe to Moran is insurmountable, and even though I don't read her so much these days, I still count myself a fan.

The endless jokes about her pussy that seemed radical in now feel a bit embarrassing, a bit 'Viz', a bit 'Dad at the wedding'. However, when you push past that first act, Moran reaches something deeper, softer and higher than the places she went in HTBAW. At it's heart, this book is about the cost of love. The cost of caring. The exhausting of having to always be the person who cares, who loves, and the fact that society hinges on women and our continued decision to love and to care well into old age.

Moran's chapters on her daughters are genuinely moving, as are her insights on ageing parents, the failed marriages of those around her, the quiet that comes when girls grow up. How To Be A Woman was written by a something, but was read largely and cultishly followed by somethings. With More Than A Woman, I predict the same thing will happen: those aged girls, now in their 30s hello will look at this as a manual for how to enter the next phase of their lives.

And on the whole, I think it will make those lives a little easier to process. View all 3 comments. The book started off rubbing me the wrong way. The author and I are the same age and she started the book lamenting about the aches and pains everyone her age is feeling. She particularly focused on a hip pain she had, and I was doing all sorts of internal eye-rolling. And what happened?

Not 24 hours later and I woke up with hip pain — serves me right for hip-shaming her. Even if a big chunk is writt The book started off rubbing me the wrong way. Even if a big chunk is written about and from the perspective of a parent. Seeing that I do not have children I could not necessarily relate but did not find this alienating at all. This is my 5th book by Caitlin Moran and I really love her brand of feminism and commentary about socio economic issues.

She is a bit crass, a bit in your face and I do not always agree with her on everything no dungarees are NOT suitable for anyone over the age of 5 but there are some beautiful poignant sections I will want to listen to again. She not only talks about what it means to be a middle aged woman juggling demanding teenagers, a marriage, elderly parents, but also about what beauty really means, how gender stereotypes hurt women AND men, eating disorders and body image.

This is a witty life affirming book by a woman who calls a vagina by its rightful name, who is not shy to talk about difficult things and who admits that she still does not know everything.

Subject matter is treated humorously where do alcohol enzymes go as you get older? Moran discusses the ways that gender stereotypes hurt not just women, but men as well. She treats the nerve-wracking subject of toxic masculinity with an insightfulness I have not seen before. Why does our sense of beauty have to be so gender-coded? I guess what I am saying is that, though the title is More Than a Woman, this book is not just for women. I liked the parts of the novel in which Moran chronicled her daily life the best.

This memoir-esque style was easily understood and related to. Her ideas are solid; the change is hard. I need this kind of neo-feminism in my life. Nov 08, Alex Kogay rated it liked it. And that was expected from her precious book in which she makes fun of the miracle that childbirth is while still describing it as a miracle and the beginning of the most important thing a woman can do - be a mother.

But I'm so happy I stuck with this audio as the rest of the book more than makes up for the over the top start. Being the same age as the author, there was so much I could relate to. Although she has a brilliant sense of humor, and had me smiling most of the time, there were also some chapters that had me swallowing back tears, most notably The Hour of Missing the Children and The Hour of "What about the I wasn't wild about the first chapter or so - it just felt a bit like CM was trying too hard.

Long before the likes of J-Lo and Britney Spears hypnotised the world with their frequently photographed rumps and midriffs, Toni Braxton spearheaded the cluster of desirable females with a knockout combination of seductive looks, silky vocal tones and an inclination towards dresses which seemed to be produced during a cloth shortage.

But image aside, Braxton's career CV can't be laughed at. With six Grammys, seven American Music Awards and a total of 25 million worldwide album sales, record company bosses will be relying upon her to deliver the goods with her latest offering. More Than A Woman is a diverse blend of danceable club numbers, trademark Braxton ballads and experimental tracks which borrow from the genres of rock and jazz. A new woman's anthem for ? I truly think so. Over a hammering hip-hop bassline, angry incessant piano chords and Braxton's calm but commanding vocals lies a telling tale of infidelity, which sets the theme for the majority of the album.

But Dr. Reitano says that while it's likely safe, it's probably not going to benefit your skin in any way. Stick to acne products to clear up those breakouts instead.

This is a rare condition but it exists. The allergic reaction is usually localized and causes redness or swelling at the point of contact—usually the vagina.
