Customer Reviews

Important compilation!
I was quite impressed with the selection of writers and quotations. As a lover of quotation books, I was very pleased when I got this fine book as a birthday present. This should be required reading in college "Women's Studies" programs. I highly recommend this book! Also, Diana Dell is the author of two fine books, "A Saigon Party" and "Memories Are Like Clouds."
