Sara Pascoe

The Autobiography of a Female Body

Animal

The hilarious feminist account of the female body by the award-winning comedian ** PRE-ORDER SARA PASCOE'S NEW BOOK SEX POWER MONEY NOW** 'HILARIOUS' Daily Telegraph 'Brilliant' Frankie Boyle Sometimes Sara Pascoe confuses herself. She gets wildly and pointlessly jealous. She spends too much time hating her bum. And you know what she hates more than her bum? Her preoccupation with her bum. She's had sexual experiences with boys she wasn't really into, but still got a post-coital crush on them. She's ruined brand-new relationships by immediately imagining them going into reverse. There was so much about her behaviour that Pascoe wanted to understand. So she started researching what makes us - women - tick. And what she read made her eyes fall out of her face. Reader, here is everything science has to tell us about love, sexuality, infidelity, boobs, periods, pubes, broodiness, and clever old fat. Merry Christmas and Hallelujah! Suddenly being a woman doesn't look like such a minefield after all. 'Fresh and HONEST' Guardian 'Timely and INTELLIGENT' The Times 'FUNNY, sad, angry, affronted, engaging and ENLIGHTENING' Stylist

So clever, so funny and SO important. The second half of the book, which talked about desire, tape and fantasy were my favorite. The information and the reflections there were enlightening. Sara Pascoe narrates her book brilliant and she seems to have done loads of research and even more thinking about the subject. I loved the audio version so much and I'm even thinking about getting a paper copy to be able to revisit parts of it.

This book was neither here nor there. I did not choose it- this was a book club selection, and I really did try to power through, but it was just so ANNOYING. 

It is not a science text, nor is it a history book, it is not a memoir and it is not funny... I think it is trying to be everything but it manages nothing. 

Looking at the rave reviews, I expect this book is for someone younger who has not already read feminist theory.
