5.0 out of 5 stars An empowering "read" for happy and healthy living!, February 6, 1999

An anthology of the profound wit and wisdom of women througout the ages; a "must read" for all women and a "should read" for all men who want to 'be in the know' about all women! A "5 star" book!!!!! Especially enjoyable because of its easy-to-use format of quotations arranged alphabetically by subject headings such as attitude, change, courage, faith, and friendship; especially inspirational because one should "never be less than they are to earn another's love!"

I ordered this book so I could get ideas for excellent quotes to use in speeches. It was that and more. There were many suggestions on how to use the quotes in speeches to validate a point, to reinforce or demonstrate a point, and/or provoke emotions in the audience. I loved the way it was divided into topics..attitude, courage, vision, etc. Very worthwhile purchase!
