Über diesen Titel
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.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
I cried, I laughed, my heart clenched and I never felt so seen. This book is amazing and I wish it would go on and on for hours. It is an insanely good book, dealing with being a woman in this world and gives an interesting peak "behind the scenes" of acting.
Will definitely listen to it again and probably read it as well.
10/10 would recommend

Gilpin is an actress that already somehow seemed very special to me and spoke to me through her performances already in a weird way. Finding out she not only wrote a book but did the audio version herself made it an instant buy and oh wow: she is such a cool and funny person and i was so entertained by this. Laughed, cried and was deeply touched.
This is as much peppered with hollywood insights as it is about being a woman in this day and age. It is also a very credible love letter to a man and a dog and resonated far too much with me.
If acting is somehow sometime no longer her thing i hope writing will become it.
Highestly recommmended. I am pretty sure I have not enjoyed an audio book this freaking much. Thank you.
Impossible to express how much I loved this
