What do actress, Helen Mirren, author, Louisa May Alcott and Nobel-Prize winning scientist, Gertrude B. Elion, have in common? They are all fascinating outspoken women whose quotes along with Bette Midler, Coco Chanel, Bette Davis, Gloria Steinem and 250 more grace the pages of this ribald collection. The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing – and then they marry him. -Cher I am a woman meant for a man, but I never found a man who could compete. -Bette Davis You can be up to your boobies in white satin, with gardenias in your hair and no sugar cane for miles, but you can still be working on a plantation. -Billie Holiday I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn't itch. -Gilda Radner This is an outrageous, amusing, and sometime ribald collection of candid observations on a variety of topics. Each page offers wit and wisdom on everything from bras to babies, shopping to sex, menopause to men, politics to parties from the most famous and infamous women of the past and present.
