Format:Hardcover
This is a great read for anyone who enjoys both history, and good comedy. It is very informative, giving a short biography of 50 of the most influencial women in history, while at the same time casting a satirical view of women's role in the world. Women in particular should like this, because she has a rather cynical view of men. This book is in sort single chapters, and can be picked up and dipped into whenever the need arises.

Format:Paperback
To call this "comedienne" a female Bernard Manning is an insult to Bernard Manning. She is sexist, ageist, and every other boring old cliche that you can frantically endeavour to make jokes about in a career that is failing but should have been non-existent.
