Description

In it youll find writers, artists, politicians, actors, musicians, fashionistas, from Sappho to Beyonc and Dorothy Parker to Carrie Fisher, all of whom have two things in common: brilliant minds and barbed wits that sting with their precision. Featuring women from as far back as 700 BC and right up to the modern day, the quotations and classic one-liners found here will inspire and delight, whether they are cheeky retorts from the outspoken, sharp reflections from the thoughtful or righteous indignation from the slighted.
