Women's Wicked Wit: From Jane Austen to Rosanne Barr

A great little compendium filled with several centuries of saws, wit, adages and one-liners for those like myself "into comedy and wit." They are especially appropriate for those in search of the perfect "one liners" to add to a speech, or to keep an annoying acquaintance at bay, or as a "comeback" to sharp underhanded but oblique attacks. It would be (reverse) sexist to say that women seem to have the sharpest tongues in the arsenal of the armory of the verbal arts, but if one judges by this book, it must be true. So I'll just be "politically incorrect" and "a (reverse) sexist," and say so: These adages and one liners, strung out across history, are not just funny, but they are, just as the book describes them, simply wicked, no! savage, devious, and pure evil. That is to say, delicious. Five stars

I bought this book as a gift and have since purchased a copy for myself. The wit is superb. Fabulous!
