Bridget Christie is a stand-up comedian, idiot and feminist. On the 30th of April 2012, a man farted in the Women’s Studies Section of a bookshop and it changed her life permanently.

A Book For Her information Christie’s twelve years of anonymous toil in the bowels of stand-up comedy as well as the sudden epiphany that produced her, unbelievably, probably one of the most critically acclaimed Uk stand-up comedians this decade, drawing together the threads that link a smelly smell in the women’s studies section towards the global feminist struggle.

Learn how fine Peter Stringfellow’s fish tastes, how yoghurt marketing perpetuates rape myths, and how Emily Bronte utilized a special ladies’ pen to write Wuthering Heights.

If you’re thinking about comedy and feminism, then this is definitely the book for you. If you hate both then I’d probably provide it a miss.

“Christie is adept at turning on the sixpence between being comical, or serious, or both simultaneously, with pricking her very own earnestness.” Telegraph

‘Christie piles derision and tomfoolery upon everyday sexism, while never pretending that jokes only can solve the issue.’ Guardian
