Summary:  "Science for Her! has finally combined two of your favorite things: your seventh grade science textbook and your Cosmo. A politically, scientifically, and anatomically incorrect textbook that will have women screaming with laughter, and men dying to know what the noise is about. In the vein of faux expert books by John Hodgman and Amy Sedaris, Science for Her! is ostensibly a book of science written by a denizen of women's magazines. Megan Amram showcases her fiendish wit with a pitch-perfect attack on everything from those insanely perky tips for self-improvement to our bizarre shopaholic dating culture to the socially mandated pursuit of mind-blowing sex to the cringe-worthy secret codes of food and body issues. Part hilarious farce, part biting gender commentary, Amram blends Cosmo and science to highlight absurdities that leave nothing and no one unscathed. Subjects include: this Spring's ten most glamorous ways to die; tips for hosting your own big bang; what religion is right for your body type; and the most pressing issue facing women today: kale!!! An outrageous satirical gem. American comedian and comedy writer Megan Amram is currently employed by NBC Television's Parks and Recreation. Her Twitter account ( @MeganAmram ) features subtle word play, absurdism, and dark humor. Amram grew up in Portland, Oregon"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  American wit and humor.
