and finally...
I haven't started it yet.. but my bessie has insisted I take it & read it..
not SF...
How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran. This book is still sitting on my bedside table.. I am getting nagged to read it... you could read it, & then review it for me.. save me a job
I got bored with it after three chapters Ditty
Take 2! I was looking for something to 'get lost in' to see me through a late night plane journey where every other bugga was sleeping and where I, (who can't sleep anywhere other than a bed,) needed to be utterly absorbed to stop me twitching and becoming restless. It didn't fit that bill, but I've since read it and I would say that it is essential reading for anyone who thinks feminism, (like political correctness,) have become dirty words and also anyone who doesn't need converting but knows that sexism and discrimination are still v much alive and well, despite having become much more subtle and hidden. It's a mix of autobiography and considerable humour without rancour, to deliver a message, and whilst I didn't necessarily agree with all of her views, I liked the overall message of feminism being about being polite and respectful and certainly not about hating men. I think it would be of interest to you Ditty and to lckle Ditty, so I'm with your bessie! There was a piece about if you want a job doing well, quickly, efficiently and without fuss, then best ask a v busy woman who is juggling work and family commitments: whilst she may have the odd day off because her kids are ill, you will also be rewarded in spades. That made me think of my FABULOUS admin' manager and also of you
And, there's a very amusing bit in it that I mentioned waaay up there!
Goes to look....there was a lot of humour that I really enjoyed Rexi and absoluteley no sense of blame: a very positive woman, (even though she does get on my nerves a little bit LOL!)
