Smart humor

Ahh, feminist humor. It is even a little geeked out. Love it.

Best Feminist Humor collection I've read

The title says it all: I've read perhaps twenty different Feminist humor collections, every one I could find, and this is the best one. I would recommend this to every woman, feminist or not -- Pick up a used copy, it won't set you back much. And enjoy.

who says feminists have no sense of humor?

I remember getting this at a used book sale, and I've always regarded it as one of the best finds I ever could get. Very funny, a great anthology with everyone from Rita Mae Brown to Gloria Steinem, it's a good to book to have around to show to people who claim "feminists have no sense of humor!"
