I think the quotes are a great collection and that Stephens' comments are refreshing compared to the usual quote-book or website that just notes the name and no detail. I like these books:).

Aside from the jealousy inspired by the wit, wisdom and perspicacity of some of the women quoted in this book, Wild Words is great fun. Divided by subject, the book provides the most quotable bon mots from a wide range of women. Some of the quotes I recognized, although I hadn't known who had said them, while I found wonderful new statements by women I'd already respected and admired. Stephens brings in old familiar sayings and incorporates ones not as well known. I read through them all in one sitting, and I have returned many a time to pull one out for a friend. This is a fun, edifying and addictive read, one that I highly recommend to fans of quotable quotes.
