In an era of shoulder pads, self-help, and sexual politics run amok, Hit & Ms cuts through the noise of the 1980s with a sharp wit and an even sharper pen. Kathy Lette — Australia's irreverent queen of comedy — chronicles the misadventures of modern womanhood with the kind of brash, laugh-out-loud honesty that made her a household name, presenting a vivid snapshot of women caught between the promises of liberation and the absurdities of real life. A collection of essays and observations that crackles with Lette's signature style — sardonic, fearless, and fizzing with pop-cultural energy — Hit & Ms illustrates just how precarious and hilarious the feminist frontier could be when it collided with dating, fashion, media, and men. Lette argues, with gleeful abandon, that surviving the tell-all eighties required equal parts courage and comedy. For anyone who lived through the decade — or simply wants to understand it — this is an unmissable dispatch from the frontlines of liberation.
