Product Description

Once a girl gets past the age of eight, she knows her deadliest weapon is her tongue. "Women's Wicked Wit" is a sumptuous selection of 2000 of women's most acerbic comments on life, chock-full of quotations from Maria Callas, Cher, Hillary Clinton, Marlene Dietrich, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Fran Lebowitz, Sophia Loren, Madonna, Dolly Parton, Miss Piggy, Joan Rivers, Rita Rudner, Mae West, Oprah Winfrey, Virginia Woolf, and many more. Nothing and no one escapes these women's glare: women on women, women on men and other animals, and a huge range of other subjects. The whole proves that when it comes to cutting remarks, the female of the species is indeed deadlier than the male.

Editorial Reviews

San Gabriel Valley Tribune
"The book will make you chuckle, groan and, most importantly, think."

-The Globe
"Talk about girl talk! When it comes to men, marriage, money and more, words from the mouths of famous women are the cutting edge of wit."

Customer Reviews

Great firsthand reporting on the world as we (women) see it.4
This is a well indexed book with lots of quotes from the famous, i.e. Mae West, Dorothy Parker and the not so famous B Gudmundsdottir. M Lovric had not put in all the famous old tried and true quotes, but has supplied us with many new classics such as "Sex, on the whole, was meant to be short, nasty and brutish. If what you want is cuddling, you should buy a puppy." Julie Burchill

A great book to dip into and a great book to phylosophise over and gain inspiration

Excellent holiday reading as it can be taken up and put down at will. Some very acid wit but definitely NOT for men!
