«Born Lippy: How to Do Female» is Jo Brand's autobiographical essay on the experience of being a woman, published by John Murray in hardback, in English (304 pages).
Comedian Jo Brand brings together in this humorous book the things she wishes she had known, what she has learned, and what she hopes for the future, with chapters covering everything from surviving family to what no one tells you about the female body, how not to fall in love, bullying, social media, and feminism. She peppers it with anecdotes from her life and career, including her time as a psychiatric nurse and working mother.
The book's subtitle is «How to Do Female». Some listings describe it as BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week.
