It's a notorious word laced with implications that have both plagued and praised women for decades. But beneath every "bitch" there stands a strong, outspoken, courageous, and sometimes outrageous, woman. What do these women have to say about topics ranging from feminism to friendship, motherhood to menopause, sex to success, betrayal to bad hair days? Answer: A lot. The Quotable Bitch celebrates these audacious women by gathering their wisdom and humor in a smart book filled with the words of Madonna, Gloria Steinem, Angelina Jolie, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Tallulah Bankhead, Joan Crawford, Erma Bombeck, Molly Ivins, and many more. Like the women emblazoned on its pages, The Quotable Bitch is a sly and straight-shooting collection of affirmations for women on the edge, divas, and goddesses -everywhere. One part brazen humor and two parts bitchiness, The Quotable Bitch is an amusing and thought-provoking must-read for women of all ages. |
