Jo Brand, the original bad girl of feminism, who loved men 'as a concept' but who is now happily married and a mother of two gorgeous daughters, tells us what it's really like to clock up the years. Passionate and funny, anecdotal and personal, the book will give voice to the more senior of us who are too often expected to fade away without complaint. Jo tackles subjects ranging from plastic surgery to menopause, to sex, relationships, children leaving home, porn, trophy wives, widows and dumpees, fashion, grooming, older women in the media, infamous and famous women, politics and social attitudes and many more. Self effacing and candid, Jo tell us like it is: there was the time she went to have her hair dyed and spent a week in hospital looking like the elephant man! This is Jo Brand's How to Be a Middle-Aged Woman - her savvier version of Caitlin Moran's How to Be a Woman - written in Jo's uniquely witty but warm and engaging voice.
