About the Author

Lily O'Farrell is a cartoonist from London. She studied Sociology at the University of Manchester, has dragged her observations around the London open mic comedy circuit and has been told she has 'an attitude problem' by most of the men who've employed her. In 2017 whilst working as a waitress, she started doodling on the back of receipts (she was a terrible waitress). Since then, she's grown a large online following with her funny drawings about the everyday annoyances of womanhood.
