I have to agree with two other reviewers, the book is not witty and is most annoying. The author tries very hard to be playful, any maybe her friends find her amusing, but her poor attempts at humor detracts from what could really have been clever and informational. This truly is bathroom reading of the worst kind. I am all for sassy and irreverent, but her writing is just plain poor. Keep a pencil and paper at hand so you can go someplace else to learn about these most possibly interesting women. Come up with your own pithy comments, they can't possibly be worse than hers! Try Infamous Women by Bellerophon Books instead.
