Designed to help women ages 18-35 catch a life, not a husband, with chapters such as Nevermind a Penis, Well Take a Paycheck. Like The Rules, its based on wisdom the author received from her grandmotherexcept her grandmother was a feisty, gin-drinking feminist. The book covers the gamut of a womans worldrelationships, money, self-esteem, sexual harassment in the workplace, and the guilt of ordering french fries. Gilmans is a sage, insightful, and witty voice in a confusing time that will make women laugh while teaching them to feel entitled, confident, and empowered.

This book is great! I'm still laughing! As a study in fast comebacks, witty returns and all-purpose broadsides to fire off during the teeth-gritting aggravations of so many social situations women endure as a side effect of life, this is ingenious! I don't think I've ever combined laughing this hard with learning so much of the "Yeah, that's true!!!-style" practical information! (Or used this many exclamation points in an Amazon review!) Short of nuclear weapons there's nothing more dangerous than a rapier wit. I wish I could be one of the assertive, fearless, never off-center types Susan Jane Gilman celebrates, but alas, I think it'd take more than a book---even a devastatingly funny and cut 'em off at the knees how-to manual like this one---to transform me...but maybe I'm learning!

And to those who've read this book and know what this means: "Suffer, baby!"

Ha, I love it!

You HAVE to read her other book: Hypocrite in a White Pouffy Dress. So funny, and totally different from this one. Buy them both, it's well worth it!
