A year or so ago, on a number 9 bus, Charlotte Raven saw a fifteen year old girl laughing with her friends. Their eyes met. They shared a moment of complicity, then Raven started to feel sad. She imagined the same girl ten years on, sitting across a restaurant table from some unworthy twit of a partner, pretending she's listening. This book is a message to that girl; it tells her - as none of the magazines she reads or even the books by feminists - what she wants to know: what will happen to her, and how she will be treated by men. Funny, irreverent, unashamedly personal, a combination of anecdote, memoir and polemic, Advice to a Young Lady is a stunning debut by one of the sharpest young writers in Britain.
