Rating: Summary: great quotes, fun book Review: I think the quotes are a great collection and that Stephens' comments are refreshing compared to the usual quote-book or website that just notes the name and no detail. I like these books:).
Rating: Summary: Great words interrupted by the inane compiler Review: This book contains a lot of great quotes from great and not-so-great women throughout history. Unfortunately, Ms. Stephens sees fit to interject her half-witted commentary after every citation, apparently believing herself fit company for the women she admires. It's filler, and bad filler at that. Also, the so-called "Index" is actually only an index of authors - useless for finding a quote by a topic or keyword.I've seen most of these quotes elsewhere in more accessible form - in fact, probably a good 75% are on my "born-today" website. Save your money and get a good book instead.
