Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Behind some great men there's more than just a great woman. Sometimes, there's other great women, women of questionable virtue, and women the great man simply can't take his mind off of. These other women are the parts of history written off as inconsequential -- despite sometimes having the greatest impact. Men fold before these women's desires, change their lives, change their nations, alter the course of history. All because of a woman's influence. These "Super-Women" were Albert Payson Terhune's subject for a series of articles in Ainslee's Magazine around the year 1916. Each article focused on a single woman, whose life irreversibly molded the world we live in. Shortly after the seralized version appeared in the magazine, select stories were collected in different versions of the book reprinted here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating history or more accurately HERstory, January 13, 2009
By C. Joyce (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Who knew there were such goings on....going on so long ago. Not I.
Albert Payson Terhune who most people seem to know from his many collie stories is quite the witty writer. I often paused in this book to admire the turn of a phrase and his judicious use of euphemisms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uber-Bitches from Hell, August 16, 2006
I gave this book five stars even though I haven't read it. Five stars just for the title alone! I mean, how can you resist a book called Famous Hussies...Superwomen? Anyway, I'd read it and review it if someone would send me a review copy. Then I'd post the review on my blog, and about nineteen people would read it (no! two of them are not my Mom and my sister), and probably buy it. I cannot really believe that no one's interested in this book. I am but I can't afford it right now, being a felon and all, ya' know: no job, no house, no car, no money. So send along any book you want reviewed (with the 20 dollar reading fee) and I'll take care of business for you.
