About this audiobook
From the New York Times bestselling author of How to Be a Woman and Moranthology comes a collection of Caitlin Moran’s award-winning London Times columns that takes a clever, hilarious look at celebrities, society, and the wacky world we live in today—including three major new pieces exclusive to this book.
When Caitlin Moran sat down to choose her favorite pieces for her new book, she realized that they all shared a common theme—the same old problems and the same old ass-hats. Then she thought of the word ‘Moranifesto’, and she knew what she had to do…
Introducing every piece and weaving her writing together into a brilliant, seamless narrative—just as she did in Moranthology—Caitlin combines the best of her recent columns with lots of new writing unique to this book as she offers a characteristically fun and witty look at the news, celebrity culture, and society. Featuring strong and important pieces on poverty, the media, and class, Moranifesto also focuses on how socially engaged we’ve become as a society.
And of course, Caitlin is never afraid to address the big issues, such as Benedict Cumberbatch and duffel coats. Who else but Caitlin Moran—a true modern Renaissance woman—could deal with topics as pressing and diverse as the beauty of musicals, affordable housing, Daft Punk, and why the Internet is like a drunken toddler?
Covering everything from Hillary Clinton to UTIs, Caitlin’s manifesto is an engaging and mischievous rallying call for our times.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Caitlin Moran is an English journalist, broadcaster and award-winning author. Moranifesto contains a collection of the columns she has written over the past few years. She tackles a diverse range of topics from TV reviews and pieces about London to feminism and a heavy dose of politics. Unfortunately, some of the pieces were dated. For example, reading about the Olympics in the UK or the Queen's Jubilee would have had more of an effect several years ago. I enjoyed her more universal and her personal articles, such as her posthumous letter to her daughter, her relationship experience and her thoughts about reading. Some of it was very touching as well as funny. As somebody who doesn't really understand the Benedict Cumberbatch obsession, I was surprised how much I enjoyed Mrs. Moran's interview with him. Overall, it was an interesting book and due to the short articles, it was nice to read bits in-between when there wasn't much time for anything else. For me personally, there was too much emphasis on feminism and politics, and some of the issues became repetitive (being able to wear comfortable shoes in the way men can or growing up on a council estate). I received an invitation from the publisher to read this and would probably not have picked this up myself. But readers who enjoy these topics will find a plethora of stuff to enjoy here because Caitlin Moran undoubtedly is witty, her style is very readable as long as you don't mind the occasional strong language, and her thoughts are insightful.
