A Book for Her

The hilarious memoir from award winning comedian Bridget Christie.

Bridget Christie is a stand-up comedian, idiot and feminist. On the 30th of April 2012, a man farted in the Women’s Studies Section of a bookshop and it changed her life forever. ;;A Book For Her details Christie’s twelve years of anonymous toil in the bowels of stand-up comedy and the sudden epiphany that made her, unbelievably, one of the most critically acclaimed British stand-up comedians this decade, drawing together the threads that link a smelly smell in the women’s studies section to the global feminist struggle. ;;Find out how nice Peter Stringfellow’s fish tastes, how yoghurt advertising perpetuates rape myths, and how Emily Bronte used a special ladies’ pen to write Wuthering Heights.;;If you’re interested in comedy and feminism, then this is definitely the book for you. If you hate both then I’d probably give it a miss. ;; Christie is adept at turning on a sixpence between being comical, or serious, or both at once, and at pricking her own earnestness. Telegraph;;‘Christie piles derision and tomfoolery upon everyday sexism, while never pretending that jokes alone will solve the problem.’ Guardian
