by Megan Amram (Author)
"One of the funniest--and most subversive--books of the year" (Esquire): Megan Amram, a writer for Parks and Recreation, delivers a politically, scientifically, and anatomically incorrect "textbook" that will have women screaming with laughter, and men dying to know what the noise is about.
"Laugh-out-loud funny...an exuberantly scathing takedown of the sexism lurking within the fun, flirty pages of women's magazines" (
The Boston Globe),
Science...for Her! showcases Megan Amram's fiendish wit with a pitch-perfect attack on everything from those insanely perky tips for self-improvement to our bizarre shopaholic dating culture to the socially mandated pursuit of mind-blowing sex to the cringe-worthy secret codes of food and body issues.
Part incisive farce, part biting commentary on gender, this "hilarious feminist manifesto for the modern era" (
Salon) blends
Cosmo and science to highlight absurdities with a machine-gun of laugh-inducing lines that leave nothing and no one unscathed. Subjects include: this Spring's ten most glamorous ways to die; tips for hosting your own big bang; what religion is right for your body type; and the most pressing issue facing women today: kale!!!
This "giddily demented" (
The Washington Post) satirical gem is "comedy-as-borderline-art" (
Flavorwire). "
Science...for Her! is a triumph that anybody with a sense of humor will appreciate" (
People).
