"First, you have to learn how to be a woman. Then middle age arrives, and you realize you have to become … more than a woman. To those around you, you’re now the Fourth Emergency Service." —Caitlin Moran

Caitlin Moran was home-educated on a Wolverhampton council estate and went onto become the most iconic columnist and critic of her generation. From How to Be a Woman to Moranifesto, How to Build a Girl to Channel 4 sitcom Raised by Wolves, her game-changing take on feminism, the patriarchy and becoming a woman is above all things a cry "to live a full, open-hearted, joyous life" (Sunday Times).

Now she returns to How To Academy for a riotous, heart-felt celebration of all those middle-aged women whose stories never get made into TV shows, or movies—but who, none-the-less, keep the world turning. As Caitlin says, “Take up your space, dude—you’ve earned it.”
