Take a funny and illuminating tour of the female body with award-winning comedian Sara Pascoe.

Really a 3.5 but I'll round up to a 4 because I like her. ( )

Pascoe takes her stand-up comedy delivery and translates it seamlessly into a book that is part autobiography and part exploration of the role of women (and women's bodies) in western society. Informative and very funny at times. Some sections are written more cumbersomely, and occasionally rely on spurious research, but her thought process and humour improve these sections, and the last chapter on rape is an excellent summary for the book.

Funny & informative, sometimes shocking (I won’t unfortunately forget in a hurry the dreadful experiments carried out on some slave women).

Sara explores issues facing women, and also bravely & astonishingly, charmingly honest, shares very personal info from her own experiences. An amusing and reassuring read. ( )

I bought this to read before seeing Pascoe on tour, neither book nor talk disappointed.
Pascoe takes us on a journey of a female body with a mix of facts, observations and autobiographical details. I enjoyed the style, while there are many laugh out loud moments, Pascoe does not pull her punches when talking about tough issues women face. I connected even more with the book as Pascoe is the same age as me, so I could relate to many of the references. Pascoe covered a lot of the issues that my friends and I discuss a lot, from abortion to having children, from endemic sexism and our growing confidence in calling people out on it.
Recommended. ( )

I greatly enjoyed this book. Pascoe combines factual information with stories from her own life to discuss the themes of Love, Body and Consent. It is often very funny, sometimes surprising in a "Whew, good thing I'm not reading this on the bus" kind of way, and quick to read. I also liked that she included further reading at the end and a list of organizations one can support if one wishes to help with the various social issues discussed in the book. ( )
