Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
I don't know how they skipped Bartlett's attention, but Rosalie Maggio has culled 16,000 quotations from 2,600 women for an indispensable reference work. Elaine Stritch is quoted saying "New York is like a disco, but without the music." Mae West explains that "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful." The remaining 15,998 wax wise, witty, and silly on topics arranged alphabetically from Ability to Zucchini. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Here are 16,000 quotes from 2,600 women—most of them found in no other collection. With dynamic and witty words by sources ranging from Bella Abzug to Ann Zwinger on over 1,400 topics, this is an indispensable reference and browser's delight.

"An important counterpoint to general collections of quotations, which, unfortunately, still don't offer equitable coverage of women's words."
-Carolyn Mulac, Library Journal
