Buck, Taylor Caldwell, Rachel Carson, Willa Cather, Kate Chopin, Emily Dickinson, Edna Ferber, Zona Gale, Lillian Hellman, Zora Neale Hurston, Shirley Jackson, Clare Boothe Luce, Dorothy Parker, Jessamyn West, Edith Wharton -- and lesser-known authors, such as Elisabeth Marbury, Maria McIntosh, Agnes Meyer, Maria Mitchell, Margaret Preston, Evelyn Scott, to name only a few.

5.0 out of 5 stars Important compilation!, June 8, 2001
By David McPherson (Clearwater, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
I was quite impressed with the selection of writers and quotations. As a lover of quotation books, I was very pleased when I got this fine book as a birthday present. This should be required reading in college "Women's Studies" programs. I highly recommend this book! Also, Diana Dell is the author of two fine books, "A Saigon Party" and "Memories Are Like Clouds."
