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. 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 Dorothy Parker, Coco Chanel, and Gloria Steinem, grace the pages of this book. From tart to terrorist, stripper to senator, B-girl to big name VIP, these down and dirty dishers exclaim on love, sex, and politics.
