A funny, feminist exploration of the female body by Fosters Comedy Award-nominated comedian Sara Pascoe.

Take a funny and illuminating tour of the female body with award-winning comedian Sara Pascoe.

Here's a book that deals with all of it.

Sara Pascoe has joked about feminity and sexuality on stage and screen but now she has a book to talk about it all for a bit longer. Animal combines autobiography and evolutionary history to create a funny, fascinating insight into the forces that mould and affect modern women.

Animal is entertaining and informative, personal and universal - silly about lots of things and serious about some. It's a laugh-out-loud investigation to help us understand and forgive our animal urges and insecurities.
