Description

Bitch. It's a notorious word laced with implications that have both plagued and praised women for decades. But beneath every "bitch" there stands a strong, outspoken, courageous, and sometimes outrageous, woman. What do these women have to say about topics ranging from feminism to friendship, motherhood to menopause, sex to success, betrayal to bad hair days? Answer: A lot.

The Quotable Bitch celebrates these audacious women by gathering their wisdom and humor in a smart book filled with the words of Madonna, Gloria Steinem, Angelina Jolie, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Tallulah Bankhead, Joan Crawford, Erma Bombeck, Molly Ivins, and many more.

With 365 installments you can enjoy a year of thought-provoking "bitchiness" (each installment contains 2 quotes).

"I found my inner bitch and ran with her."
— Courtney Love, singer

"I’m tired of being labeled anti-American because I ask questions."
— Susan Sarandon, actress

"If I hear the word ‘perky’ again, I’ll puke."
— Katie Couric, anchorwoman

I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.
And I will never, ever respond to anybody--man, woman, vegetable, or mineral--who tells me to keep my mouth ...
