- More about Strong Female Character
Strong Female Character is a hilarious, smart, sad, and revealing book that has won multiple awards, including the British Book of the Year, the Nero Book Awards, and the Books Are My Bag Awards. It tells the story of Fern Brady, who is diagnosed with autism 20 years after telling a doctor she had it. The book explores her terrible Catholic childhood, her friendship with an elderly man, homelessness, stripping, and more. It is incredibly funny, and unapologetically frank, and has brilliant things to say about being autistic and being funny. Fern is a brilliant, beautiful writer with a unique voice and story.

I tore through this hilarious, smart, sad, revealing book
- Bob Odenkirk
Funny, sharp and has incredible clarity
- Jon Ronson
An absolute riot. I'm literally going to read it again once I've finished, and I'm a miserable bastard...it's a belter
- FRANKIE BOYLE
Strong Female Character is a testament to the importance of self-knowledge.
- Rachael Healy, The Guardian
A summary of my book:
1. I'm diagnosed with autism 20 years after telling a doctor I had it.
2. My terrible Catholic childhood: I hate my parents, etc.
3. My friendship with an elderly man who runs the corner shop and is definitely not trying to groom me. I get groomed.
4. Homelessness.
5. Stripping.
6. More stripping, but with more nervous breakdowns.
7. I hate everyone at uni and live with a psycho, etc.
8. REDACTED as too spicy.
9. After everyone tells me I don't look autistic, I try to cure my autism and get addicted to Xanax.
10. REDACTED as too embarrassing.
Fern's book, like everything she does, is awesome.
Incredibly funny, and so unapologetically frank that I feel genuinely sorry for her lawyers.
- PHIL WANG
Of course it's funny - it's Fern Brady - but this book is also deeply moving and eye-opening
- ADAM KAY
It made me laugh out loud and broke my heart and made me weep...I hope absolutely everyone reads this.
