Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Not to be confused with Elaine Partnow's excellent The Quotable Woman 1800- 1981 ( LJ 6/1/83), this compilation of women's wit and wisdom offers an eclectic selection of quotations indexed only by name. The contents are organized under topical headings, i.e., ``challenges,'' ``opportunity,'' ``beauty,'' etc. The lack of a subject or keyword index diminishes this title's usefulness for a reference collection. There are a number of women here not quoted in Partnow's first volume; however many of them can be found in the ``prequel,'' The Quotable Woman: Eve to 1799 ( LJ 12/84). Nearly ten years have passed since the publication of Partnow's first collection: this title does offer recent quotations. The depth of coverage here is limited to two or three, but mostly one quotation per entrant, while Partnow cites more than a few for each. A marginal purchase, perhaps more appropriate as a graduation gift than as an addition to a reference collection. Hopefully Partnow's compilation will be updated in the not-too-distant future.-- Carolyn M. Mu lac, Chicago P.L.
