Publisher's Summary

This program is read by the author.

A lightning-strike dispatch of hilarious, intimate, luminous essays from the brain (and voice!) of Emmy Award-nominated actress and writer Betty Gilpin.


Oh. Hi. *takes six long gulps of water during which you’re like, may I help you?*

My name is Betty. I have depression. I have passion. I have tits the size of printers. And also: I have a brain full of women.

There’s Blanche VonFuckery, Ingrid St. Rash, and a host of others—some cowering in sweatpants, some howling plans for revolution, and one, oh God, and one . . . slowly vomiting up a crow? Worried for her. These women take turns at the wheel. That’s why I feel like a million selves. With a raised eyebrow and a soul-scalpel, I’d like to tell you how I got this way. Because maybe you feel this way too.

Let’s hop from wild dissections of modern womanhood to boarding school musings to the glossy cringe of Hollywood. Let’s laugh at my failures and then quietly hope with me for the dream. Whether that dream is love or liberation or enough IMDB credits to taze the demon snapping at my ankles, we won’t know until the shit-fanning end.

As a dear friend said after listening to this audiobook, it’s “either a masterpiece, or it’s…completely…” and then she glazed over into a haunted stare. Listener? This audiobook is my opus and it is chaos.

If you’ve ever felt like you were more, or at least weirder, than the world expected—welcome to All the Women in My Brain.

Betty is all of us

This will be one of the best books you’ll read all year.
It’s funny to the point you’ll laugh so hard you’ll cry.
You’ll also cry … cause it’s so heartbreaking and sad.
But sad in that good way.
You know the way.
Right?
Heartfelt, brutally honest, and filled with insight.
You’ll often wonder if Betty simply read you mind.
Saying all the things you’ve thought about yourself but just didn’t know how to say.
Or the guts to say,
Betty also reads. And it makes all the difference.
Hearing it from the author gives the book that added personal touch.
Often you’ll forget this is a book and not a conversation with a close friend.


Side note: if you are a performer, on any level, this books hits in different way.

I think it’s easy to say, I loved this book.

When it finished I felt that empty feeling of wanting more.
More from this person? Yes please.
