I first became aware of Caitlin Moran in 2011, when her book How to Be a Woman came out. She had written some children’s stories in the early 90s, but, as an American, her memoir was the first time I’d actually come into contact with her. However, she was quite well known in the UK leading up to that point, and continuing forward after it.
