Extraordinary Women

Kiss My Tiara: How to Rule the World as a Smart Mouth Goddess
by Gilman, Susan Jane
(Warner, 0446675776) "A book that's irresistible to quote from, this is about attitude, specifically the 21st-century female one. With chapter headings such as 'We Don't Shape History by Shaping Our Thighs' and 'PMS is a Power Tool,' subtle it ain't. A book that would have been called strident 20 years ago, Kiss My Tiara is instead funny, hip, and irreverent. I love it! And it makes a great gift book, too." - Linda Bubon, Women & Children First, Chicago, IL

Travels With Myself and Another: A Memoir
by Gellhorn, Martha
(Tarcher, 1585420905) "I couldn't put this down. A must read for the woman who loves to travel alone but has to put up with companions. A famous WWII war correspondent, Gellhorn's honesty and personality shine!" - Anne Z. Hasiuk, Iowa Book Co., Iowa City, IA
