It's a collection of articles, poems, songs, ect. written by women about life, work, being a woman, and everything in between. The pieces are short for the most part, so there are a lot of women to hear from!

How most of the book could be related to by any woman. There is something in there for every woman from all walks of life. And it's not a man-bashing book, either, so it is very relaxed and doesn't preach.

Many of the pieces weren't really humor. It's not a bad thing, as the writing was wonderful. However, it is suppossed to be a humor book and some of the pieces don't fit in.

As if I was part of something. A lot of things were joked about or just spoken of that I related to so well that I started to feel less alone in many, many aspects of life.

Not the author, she was the editor. There are a lot of authors in this book, including one of my favorites, Erma Bombeck.

It's a very mature laugh. It opens your eyes to the world, it helps you laugh at yourself and others, and it helps you to see that nothing is weird.

If you don't enjoy poetry, you should be aware that, while it's not a poetry book, there is a lot of it in there.

Suppossedly, the royalties and a portion of the proceeds from this book are donated to charity. So you get a laugh while indirectly donating.



This is definetly one of the best books I have read in a long time.
