About this listen
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....

He said I was jealous of the woman's body.
This made me angrier than I have been in a very, very long time. I hope I don't have to explain why here.
I will be buying a hardback copy of Bridget Christie's masterwork in finding the funny in the blanket suppression of we, the majority, by willy owners and sometimes, even ourselves. I think it is the spoonful of sugar needed to help that
medicine go down.
My best friend had a little girl a few months ago...I'm buying the book for her sake.
Thanks Bridget, you are a legend.
Says what needs saying and all funny like....

Where does A Book for Her rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This audiobook really got me laughing; and thinking.What about Bridget Christie’s performance did you like?
Christie is a terrific comedian so it's no surprise that the performance is great. She occasionally drops whatever the audiobook equivalent of the fourth wall is, chastising the listener for choosing the easy option of listening to rather than reading her book.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
She really does manage to make feminism very funny without trivialising it and without preaching.Any additional comments?
This isn't just a book for people with women's ears, I have men's ears and I really enjoyed it.It's not just for her

What did you like most about A Book for Her?
Her interjections whilst reading her Audiobook made it so much more enjoyable!What was one of the most memorable moments of A Book for Her?
The yoghurt advert anecdoteHave you listened to any of Bridget Christie’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I listened to Mind the Gap right before this book. This is just as brilliantly funny and insightful, if not more so. There is some repetition of material though but that's cool as I appreciate that not everyone will have heard Mind the Gap.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Hell yeah!Any additional comments?
Please, please, please write another book!Just discovered Bridget Christie now she's my fave
