Wicked: Woman's Wit & Humour
3 journalers for this copy...
A grab-bag from across the ages... from Elizabeth I on down! No holds barred. Many of the pieces didn't really appeal to me, but in such a broad anthology, I suppose there's something for everyone. A few appetizers:
"It's not true that life is one damn thing after another -- it's one damn thing over and over." (Edna St Vincent Millay)
"The vote, I thought, means nothing to women. We should be armed." (Edna O'Brien)
"Stop Miss World -- we want to get off!" (Banner outside Miss World competition)
"I'm furious about the women's liberationists. They keep getting up on soap-boxes and proclaiming that women are brighter than men. That's true, but it should be kept very quiet or it ruins the whole racket." (Anita Loos)
"When I burnt my bra, it took the fire department four days to put out the blaze." (Dolly Parton)

I have enjoyed browsing through this book when i needed a head break, just to read some of the accessible quotes. Thanks tigercub! Will be leaving this at the Old Triangle as I meet some friends for lunch there, around noon, either by the entrance or in the women's washroom. Happy hunting!

I was at the Old Triangle with my dad and went to the washroom and saw this book. This is my second book crossing book in 2 years. I brought it back to the table and told everyone about book crossing
