Summary

The hilarious memoir from award-winning comedian Bridget Christie.

When Bridget Christie walked into her local bookshop, she thought she'd come out with a book. And maybe a calendar of cute photos of cats (hopefully unlike you've just done). The last thing she thought she'd be leaving with was the need for a new wave of feminism and the start of an incredibly successful career.

Up until that day, she hadn't realised that misogyny was like shiny leggings: it had been making an unexpected comeback (and for the record, neither do ordinary women any favours).

From that moment, Bridget decided that the world should know that feminism is not embarrassing for women. In fact she managed to find the humour in it. And she wasn't afraid to answer the difficult questions all women wanted to know: why do fish stare at you during lap dances at Stringfellows? Do I need to have botox before heading to a pub quiz? Is bootylicious a new brand of feminism or an arse-flavoured bubble gum?

A Book for Her is Bridget's story. But it's not only a book for her, it's also a book for you. And for him, if he's not a dick. Or even if he is, he could learn something that might make him not a dick.

Oh, and what happened in that bookshop? You'll have to listen on to find out....

Hilarious, thoughtful and moving. Christie's well honed performance style makes this my favourite recent listen.

Bridget Christie brings her book to the Audible community with great enthusiasm and humour (there's loads of extra jokes where she directly addresses the listener). This is a 2015 compendium of all the shows she's done over the last 5 years and explores the themes around them. Whilst there's a load of silliness, there's also some important underlying messages of equality and respect. I'm a guy and never found the feminist issues anything other than engaging and thought provoking. Don't miss this fantastic book.

A lot of laughs exploring equal rights issues

Bridget Christie is incredibly astute and also incredibly funny. I couldn't have loved this book, her as an author or her amazing narration more. Am hitting the "play again" button, I've got a feeling I'll listen to this over and over!! Don't hesitate, download this now.
