Description
'People say women can't be funny. WRONG... I love Reductress.'
-Sam Bain, co-creator of Peep Show
The definitive manual on how to be the best feminist you can be-as told by a hilariously misguided yet well-meaning women's magazine. From the creators of the wildly popular satirical website, Reductress.
From hot feminist sex to a trendy feminist up-do, the bold and brilliant minds behind Reductress reveal the secrets to being super progressive-and cool, hip, and pretty. Feminism today means demanding gender equality-and a fabulous manicure. After all, we're not wearing girdles and cleaning the house anymore. We're wearing Spanx and hiring a cleaning lady. That's feminism!
How to Win at Feminism defines what's feminist and what isn't, shows you how to take up space (but not too much space), identifies which clothes and products to be offended by, and offers funny insight, knowledge, tips, and advice every fourth-wave feminist needs, including:
How to Love Your Body Even Though Hers is Better
The 9 Circles of Hell for Women Who Don't Help Other Women
Designer Handbags to Hold All Your Feminism
How to Apologize for Having it All
Finding Your Spirit Feminist
Rebranding Your Relationship Issues as Feminist Issues
With this ultimate guide-complete with four-color illustrations-you can femsplain feminism to basic friends, and learn how to battle the patriarchy while maintaining a dependable moisturizing routine. We may have come a long way, baby, but we have a long way to go. How to Win at Feminism is the road map to get there!
'Reductress has discovered a rich, deep seam of comedy.'

Reviews / Votes
'Reductress has been described as "Feminism For Dummies" and "Feminism For People Who Hate Feminism". Personally I hate feminism but I love Reductress. Does that make me a dummy? Probably. But I'm laughing so hard I don't care.'-Sam Bain, creator of Peep Show
'I didn't understand why blood was coming out of my vagina until I read this book. This book is basically my f***ing mother.'
-Aubrey Plaza, star of Parks and Recreation
'There is no better way to celebrate our wominity than delving into all of the bullshit that comes along with it. This book does just that while also mocking the sexist culture that made us this way.'
-Lizz Winstead, co-creator of The Daily Show

Person
From Reductress.com: The first and only satirical women's magazine, Reductress was founded in 2013 by Beth Newell and Sarah Pappalardo. The mission of Reductress is to take on the outdated perspectives and condescending tone of popular women's media, through the eyes of the funniest women in comedy today. Also, we want people to think we're pretty.
