Why Teenage Girls Are The F*cking Best With Caitlin Moran

This week, we’re so excited to be speaking with British journalist and feminist author Caitlin Moran, whose 2011 book ‘How To Be A Woman’ is credited by everyone from Clementine Ford to our very own Grace O’Neill as being one of the books that originally got them embracing the feminist movement. Now, another of Caitlin's books, a true-ish story of her life as an up-and-coming music journalist in her teens, travelling the world with some of the country's biggest artists, is about to be released, starring none other than our fave girl, Beanie Feldstein, in her first-ever lead role. Ahead of the release of ‘How to Build a Girl’ We spoke to Caitlin about everything from growing up in a sexist household to how the feminist conversation has changed, to living across the road from Morrissey. 


**We're taking a two week mid-year break now! Back on 19th August. Love you!**
