A RADIO 4 'BOOK OF THE WEEK' Sometimes it's hard to be a woman and
sometimes it's time to be a hard woman . . . This is a book for all
those times. Once upon a (very very) long time ago Jo Brand was
what you might describe as 'a nice little girl'. Of course, that
was before the values of cynicism, misogyny and the societal
expectation that Jo would be thin, feminine and demure sent her off
down Arsey Avenue. The plot thickened, when due to a complicated
fusion of hormones, horrible family dynamics and a no-good
boyfriend they hated, Jo ended up leaving home at 16. Now she's
considerably further along life's inevitable bloody 'journey' - and
she's fucked up enough times to feel confident she has no wisdom to
offer anyone. But who cares? She's going to do it anyway... Born
Lippy is a gathering of all the things Jo Brand wishes she'd known,
all the things she's learnt, and all the things she hopes for the
future. A century after women got the vote (albeit married women
over the age of 28) it's time to take stock of exactly what it
means to be female today. And if there's one thing women are
entitled to, it's having a bloody good moan about things big and
small - so here goes . . . HOW TO MANAGE A BULLY * YOUR FAMILY AND
HOW TO SURVIVE IT * WHAT NO-ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT THE FEMALE BODY *
BEING DIFFERENT * SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT SOCIABLE * HOW NOT TO FALL IN
LOVE * FEMINISM: A RE-BRANDING * ADVENTURES IN YOUR HEAD * HAVING
FUN * NOT HAVING FUN: WHAT TO DO WHEN IT ALL GOES WRONG * STAYING
SANE * YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU WEAR * MODERN MANNERS* HOW TO DO WHAT
YOU WANT: OR NOT DO WHAT OTHERS WANT * BEING HEALTHY * GETTING ON A
BIT * THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES: MORE DEADLY THAN THE MALE?
