Be Awesome: Modern Life for Modern Ladies

Hadley Freeman, Guardian features writer and author of the popular `Ask Hadley¿¿ column, presents the modern lady with twenty-three essays that remind us to BE AWESOME.`Being single is often awesome. You can leave a party when you want to, whether that be 9pm or 9am; you don't have to live in fear of ever hearing yourself described as ¿my better half¿; and you can spend all day lying on the sofa in your pajamas watching Murder She Wrote and eating peanut butter straight out of the jar¿`Don't, if you are over the age of 18, refer to yourself as a ¿girl¿ or your friends, if they are over 18, as ¿the girls.¿ You are a woman and so are they. And you know what? That's just brilliant.¿Covering topics vital for any modern woman to consider (from `How to read women¿s magazines without wanting to grow a penis¿ to `Beyond the armpit: a guide to being a modern day feminist¿), Be Awesome tackles body image, sex, dating and feminism head on.With an attitude that is unfalteringly funny, smart and surprisingly heartwarming, Hadley Freeman is a voice of sanity that every woman should hear.
