5.0 out of 5 stars A Unique and Amusing Collection of Quotations
This book doesn't try to be like one of the world renowned books of quotations. it's just a collection of fun, wise and interesting quotations by strong women from all walks of life. That's the virtual of this book in this age of online quotation websites and other collections of quotations. I've had my copy for years. Mines full of post-it notes and always a delight...

1.0 out of 5 stars Great words interrupted by the inane compiler
