À propos de cet audio
It’s the 21st Century. Why the hell are women - 51% of the population - being treated like second class citizens?
The Indignities of Being a Woman candidly traces the history of womanhood and investigates how much things have really changed for womankind. By carefully x-raying areas such as body image, marriage, mental illness, fashion, and politics, this audiobook examines what it was like to be a woman in the past versus what it’s like now, when women are constantly told equality between the sexes exists but reality proves otherwise.
It’s the brainchild of two childless comedians, Merrill Markoe and Megan Koester. Markoe is a multi-award-winning comedy writer whose credits span television, magazines, and books. She has four Emmy Awards, one for each of her dogs. Koester has written for VICE, Jezebel and the Guardian and has one basic cable acting credit. The two writers—one a comedy veteran, the other an emerging talent—intersperse their dry wit with their own experiences of being long-suffering feminists in the modern world.

Informative, funny and infuriating
I added this book to my Audible collection a while ago, but I hesitated to start it because it is such a depressing topic. But comedy is the perfect vehicle for exploring the utter absurdity of beliefs and attitudes about women and their role in society. Thanks Merrill and Megan!

Best book on audible!!!
It’s about time this book is available! I love the comedy presentation of these always hard to hear facts about women’s experience throughout time. Critics are bound to say ‘get over it, it’s history and doesn’t exist anymore’ but that just shows how ignorant they remain. I love the authors, the delivery and the thoroughness. One of the best books I have read. A must read for all women and girls. Hey, why not change regular history books for this one. It’s a lot more informative and interesting. I couldn’t put it down. Way to go Megan and Merrill. You win!!!

Eye opening and funny.
the comedians use wit, sarcasm, and human to talk about what its like to be a woman through the ages. I wish my sociology professors would teach like these women.

Woah... the things they don't teach us
Maybe I should have taken Women's Studies, but if you didn't, this is a good overview of what has been done to womankind in the history of the world/US.

An insightful read
This book was exceptional, both in content and performances by the authors. the fact it was narrated as a audiobook is what made it even more enjoyable. The back and forth was entertaining between the authors.
on the note of content, it was stellar! a huge insight into the mistreatment of women throughout history and a very obvious indication of how far we still need to go.

Informative and hilarious
At first I was worried that I would tire of this content very quickly because I assumed from the title that it would contain a ton of complaining. It was the opposite. There are so many insane facts and stories in this book that I enjoyed learning about. This book was interesting, sarcastic and witty. I loved it.

Strangely Enjoyable?
Given the content of this book it is odd to say that I really liked it. authors and narrators did a really great job entertaining while also educating. the content itself is pretty horrifying, but I appreciate the knowledge and its delivery.

100 STARS!
Unbelievably well delivered, these women are top notch in everything from research to delivery of information. Their wit is incredible, I am so glad I bought this gem! If I was a cryer, I'd be laughing and crying simultaneously;)

Informative and entertaining
Loads of information about the treatment of women throughout history, all of it horrifying to imagine. Everything is told in a humorous way, making it a fun listen despite the seriousness of the topic. Merrill gave an excellent performance and was easy to listen to. Megan was too cynical and used way too much swearing for my tastes. I would have loved to share this with my tweens for the content, but the over-abundance of swearing makes that not possible.

wonderfully researched docu-story
Merrill and Megan's telling of this story is funny, vulgar at times, but so entertaining to listen too. What women have had to put up with for centuries upon centuries is inexcusable. There is no justification for men's barbarianism.
Now then can Kick Butt!!!!
Well worth the time to listen too!!!
