mutter reads: Demi Moore

For Oscar weekend, a mutterhood reader recommends Demi Moore’s memoir Inside Out. Moore, who rose to superstar status with movies like Indecent Proposal, A Few Good Men and Ghost, was one of the first women in Hollywood to demand pay equity with her male co-stars.

Here she recounts her rocky childhood, life in Hollywood, her celebrity marriages to Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher, her struggles with addiction and body image issues, and her strained relationship with her three children because of it.

Moore writes with emotional frankness about celebrity life but also the challenges that every woman faces. For those who prefer audiobooks, Moore narrates her own story.
