this was a funny read...

I think it goes without saying why I bought this book.

Easy to read in small doses, which works for me these days. The book discussed some interesting women that I was not that familiar with, but there was a rather glaring error mixing up the plots of Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility in the Jane Austen bio that I'm surprised a "woman who loves books too much" would make.

I found this one at my local library. Just a bunch of short bios of various women throughout history who have contributed to the world of literature in some way. I thought it very informative of how women played a part in the literary world.

This book is truly a wonder. It packs a lot of interesting facts and tidbits about nearly every writer you can think of off the top of your head! Don't let it's small size fool you. It was the perfect book to bring on vacation. I could read it at leisure. The biographies were small enough that they could be read while on the bus. Perfect!

Interesting subject but I could not get past the writing. It is just difficult to have any confidence in the information when the author is consistently fawning. I did not finish this.

Short bios of all women writers. List classics and must read books. Gives websites and references for authors.

An excellent listing of women writers.

I better read more faster! There are authors I never heard of in this little book. A handy little reference and summary of amazing women authors.

This book was an interesting set of short, funny vignettes on a whole range of smart, sassy women. Perfect airplane book that was entertaining and informative.

. Delightful profiles of women writers through the ages grouped by categories. While one wishes that some who were merely noted were also profiled, such as Anais Nin, still this nearly illustrated volume is a fun and instructive read.
