WOW!!!

Elaine Partnow's book, "The Quotable Woman," truly is a fantastic compilation of quotes from women throughout the ages and is a monumental piece of work. I am so overwhelmed with the quality of the research and effort devoted to making possible this delightful collection of quotations from women over the past 5,000 years-- Arthur E. Cohen, MD Keene, NH

Great Resource!

This book is not only fun to thumb through (and there's a lot of it to thumb through), it is a terrific resource. The biographical index of 3,750 women alone makes it worth having. I find myself looking stuff up in it all the time--how old is Gloria Steinem? Where was Golda Meir born? What country did Murasaki Shikibu come from? And then, of course, there are the quotations. Thousands of them. A real help in my work as a researcher. Anyone who enjoys a good reference library shouldn't be without a copy of this book.
