Customer Reviews

Women are not all the same, but the same things happen to us

Maitena is an Argentinian cartoonist whose cartoons center on women, relationships and life in general. Her cartoons are fun, but also food for thought, sometimes. If you are a woman and you happen to buy this book, you will laugh quite loudly several times, because you'll realise that you aren't alone, and that many others share your likes/dislikes, habits and peculiarities. We live in different countries, but we are first and foremost women :) If you are a man, you'll have the opportunity of at least beginning to understand some of those many things that women do and just don't make sense in your humble opinion. Of course, Maitena's cartoons don't explain women and their points of view (I don't think anything can), but they might shed some lights on some of our idiosyncrasies. Maitena says that "Women are not all the same, but the same things happen to us". If you want to know more about those "things that happen to us", or laugh a lot, read this compilation of cartoons. I highly recommend it to you :) Belen Alcat
