A good book for both reading and reference!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book is intriguing, thought-provoking and even humorous! I especially like the information about the women being quoted- it makes me want to learn more about them. I like the categorization which makes it easy to find an appropriate quote on a number of subjects, although I also enjoy just reading it from random points to see what surprises I find.

The concept for this book is fantastic. Weekes has compiled an incredible variety of womens quotes on every topic imaginable. I found the book so appealing that I ordered 6 more copies for Mothers Day presents. All 6 have told me they had the same positive reaction.

Great source of quotes and wisdom
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Quotes are arranged by topic. Great source of quotes for workshops and speeches. Women DO know everything. You'll find a quote for every purpose in here. Some historical, many very current. Makes a good gift for any woman -- and probably some men.
Fun, Entertaining and Educational!
