Leather-bound book "Thoughts, aphorisms and jokes of outstanding women"

As you know, it was only after a long and stubborn resistance that men recognized the right of women to think. Even more stubbornly they denied the ability of the fair sex to use the weapon of wit. "Humor is a purely masculine attribute," Karel Chapek said not so long ago. He wouldn't say that these days. This book contains the statements of several hundred women writers, actresses, politicians, and scientists. About what? About life, about the world, about men and about myself.The first edition was published as part of the "Behind the Word in the Pocket" series under the title "A sharp female look: Thoughts, aphorisms and jokes of outstanding women" (Moscow: EKSMO Press, 1999). In the second edition, the number of personal headings has tripled — from 91 to 274; almost four hundred more names are presented in the section "Thoughts of different women". In addition, in many personal headings, a sub-column "A view from the outside" has appeared — the most curious opinions about the woman whose name is included in the heading of the heading. Some of the statements included in the book are given with abbreviations.
