Caitlin Moran

Emma Haworth is a painter of the urban scene. Her art is built upon meticulous observation of the ebb and flow of modern metropolitan life – in the streets, the parks, the squares of London, New York, Paris and other great cities: it is a constantly shifting drama of moving people and changing light, played out in a great arena that is both architectural and natural. In To Everything There is a Season, Emma shows us an overview of her oeuvre and working practices.

Waking up from another anxious night of sleep, doomscrolling on your phone and feeling the familiar thud of dread in your chest as you watch the news: sound familiar? One morning, Caitlin Moran awakes and realises that she has reached Peak Despair. In a world of worsening news, increasing tribalism and digital addiction, is it any wonder that we all feel so terrible? So, Caitlin wonders: what might be done? She starts with a Big Plan to escape to the country. But, after nearly bankrupting her family in an ill-advised bid to escape societal doom, Caitlin realises that true change starts not in escaping, but in a reckoning with ourselves. If we step back from the algorithm and take care of ourselves and each other, might amazing change be possible? And so, ditching the news, eschewing social media and throwing herself into the analogue world just beyond our screens, Caitlin shows how recognizing the goodness in the everyday can be a radical act of rebellion against the fear and anxiety of modern life. From the magic of becoming a renegade litter-picker to the joy of finding exercise that your body loves, How To Be Hopeful is an essential, serotonin-boosting companion for anyone looking to reclaim their optimism amidst global chaos, reminding us that our own revolution of hope is never far away.

'A must-read eye-opener that makes you laugh, cry, get angry and get happy on every page. It's magnificent' Bob MortimerAll the statistics agree: there has never been a more difficult time to be a teenage boy. And, therefore, there has never been a more difficult time to be the parent of a teenage boy. Failing in education; facing a hopeless jobs market; getting their sexual education from violent pornography; and being endlessly targeted by online influencers who, yes, tell them to make their beds, and go to the gym - but also push dodgy cryptocurrency schemes, and think the best place for a woman is ‘working in a Romanian sex-dungeon’. What About Men? opens with a group of angry teenage boys claiming feminism has ‘gone too far’, and asks: what do boys actually mean when they say that? Are all angry boys, underneath everything, scared? What happens when your son becomes a fan of Andrew Tate? And why do one-in-ten gym-going boys say they’ve felt ‘suicidal’ about their bodies? Having spent a decade writing about women, girls, and their problems, Caitlin Moran found that, in reality, boys and girls have more in common than they think. Women have spent decades trying to feel better about their bodies; trying to find positive role-models; and feeling angry, and scared, about their place in the world. If feminism has ‘gone too far’ is it because we have started to solve these problems? And, if so, what can boys, and men, learn from this? Both laugh-out-loud funny and devastatingly truthful, What About Men? is the essential handbook on 21st century masculinity: the birth-to-death guide on how to help boys rebel against anger, cynicism, misogyny and despair, and find the joy in being a boy.

An Instant #1 Sunday Times bestsellerWith her signature candor and wit, New York Times bestselling author Caitlin Moran attempts to answer society's weirdly unasked question: What About Men? Like anyone who discusses the problems of girls and women in public, Caitlin Moran has often been confronted with the question: "But what about men?" And at first, tbh, she dgaf. Boys, and men, are fine, right? Feminism doesn't need to worry about them. However, around the time she heard an angry young man saying he was "boycotting" International Women' Day because "It's easier to be a woman than a man these days," she started to wonder: are unhappy boys, and men, also making unhappy women? The statistics on male misery are grim: boys are falling behind in school, are at greater risk of depression, greater risk of suicide, and, most pertinently, are increasingly at risk from online misogynist radicalization. Will the Sixth Wave of feminism need to fix the men, if it wants to fix the women? Moran began to investigate--talking to her husband, close male friends, and her daughters' friends: bringing up very difficult and candid topics, and receiving vulnerable and honest responses. So: what about men? Why do they only go to the doctor if their partner 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 sexual strangling a good hobby for young people to have? Are men ever allowed to be sad? Are they ever allowed to lose? Have Men's Rights Activists confused "power" with "empowerment"? Are Mid-Life Crises actually quite cool? And what's the deal with Jordan Peterson's lobster? In this thoughtful, warm, provocative book, Moran opens a genuinely new debate about how to reboot masculinity for the twenty-first century, so that "straight white man" doesn't automatically mean bad news--but also uses the opportunity to make a lot of jokes about testicles, and trousers. Because if men have neither learned to mine their deepest anxieties about masculinity for comedy, nor answered the question "What About Men?," then it's up to a busy woman to do it.

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.

Det har aldrig varit lättare att vara kvinna. Vi har rösträtt och p-piller och vi har inte blivit brända som häxor sedan 1700-talet. Ändå finns det frågetecken: Varför måste en kvinna raka bort allt hår på kroppen och svara på frågan när hon tänker skaffa barn? Caitlin Moran skriver humoristiskt och träffsäkert om att vara kvinna. Men också om att vara människa. Det här är en bearbetad version av Konsten att vara kvinna. I denna satiriskt självbiografiska skrift raljerar Caitlin Moran över vad det innebär att vara kvinna. Från att ha varit en överviktig tonåring, går hon igenom olika faser i livet, som att få mens, bli smal, bli kär, gifta sig, föda barn, vara feminist och att gå igenom en abort. Mitt i allt det dråpliga, finns ett djupt allvar. Det är en betraktelse av ett kvinnoliv och samtidigt en spegling av vår tid och våra värderingar. Boken skrevs 2011, men är ständigt aktuell, och nu finns den äntligen tillgänglig på svenska i det lättlästa formatet. Caitlin Moran är en brittisk författare, journalist, krönikör, manusförfattare och TV-kritiker. Hon skrev sin första roman när hon var femton år. Genom åren har hon tilldelats många priser. Konsten att vara kvinna utsågs när den kom ut 2011 till Galaxy Book of the year. Linda Skugge är översättare, författare och krönikör. Hon har skrivit en mängd böcker i olika genrer, allt från kokbok till krönikesamlingar, ungdomsböcker och romaner. Hon är verksam som översättare av både skönlitteratur och facklitteratur.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe book that launched a feminist revolution--the hilarious memoir/manifesto from Caitlin Moran, "the UK's answer to Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, and Lena Dunham all rolled into one" (Marie Claire). Though they have the vote and the Pill and haven't been burned as witches since 1727, life isn't exactly a stroll down the catwalk for modern women. They are beset by uncertainties and questions: Why are they supposed to get Brazilians? Why do bras hurt? Why the incessant talk about babies? And do men secretly hate them? Caitlin Moran interweaves provocative observations on women's lives with laugh-out-loud funny scenes from her own, from the riot of adolescence to her development as a writer, wife, and mother. With rapier wit, Moran slices right to the truth--whether it's about the workplace, strip clubs, love, fat, abortion, popular entertainment, or children--to jump-start a new conversation about feminism. With humor, insight, and verve, How to Be a Woman lays bare the reasons why female rights and empowerment are essential issues not only for women today but also for society itself.

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.

Med åldrande föräldrar, tonårsdöttrar, en större rumpa och en att-göra-lista utan slut är Caitlin Moran tillbaka med nya frågor som måste besvaras. Hur kommer det sig att sex har blivit trist? Kan feminister botoxa sig? Och den eviga frågan: vem är det som ser efter barnen? ”Mer än en kvinna” är en guide till att bli äldre, ett manifest för förändring och en hyllning till alla medelålders kvinnor.

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?

Life is always better backstage, isn't it? The Sunday Times Number One bestseller about a young woman making it in a world where men hold all the power. I'm Johanna Morrigan, and I live in London in 1995, at the epicentre of Britpop. I might only be nineteen, but I'm wise enough to know that everyone around me is handling fame very, very badly. My unrequited love, John Kite, has scored an unexpected Number One album, then exploded into a Booze And Drugs HellTM - as rockstars do. And my new best friend - the maverick feminist Suzanne Banks, of The Branks - has amazing hair, but writer's block and a rampant pill problem. So I've decided I should become a Fame Doctor. I'm going to use my new monthly column for The Face to write about every ridiculous, surreal, amazing aspect of a million people knowing your name. But when my two-night-stand with edgy comedian Jerry Sharp goes wrong, people start to know my name for all the wrong reasons. `He's a vampire. He destroys bright young girls. Also, he's a total dick' Suzanne warned me. But by that point, I'd already had sex with him. Bad sex. Now I'm one of the girls he's trying to destroy. He needs to be stopped. But how can one woman stop a bad, famous, powerful man?
