Featuring approximately 16,000 quotations, including 10,000 new entries, it is the most complete collection in print.

The 2,600 women quoted here are writers and artists, scientists and musicians, lawyers and politicians, scholars and celebrities. They speak from six continents and from ancient times to the present. A section explaining the origins of frequently cited misquotations, an informative biographical index, and an index of subjects and key lines complete this reference.
