review 1: I thought the concept for this collection of essays was really interesting and creative. Within each chapter you’ll find plenty of witty dialogue and enough references to these writers’ lives to make you want to know more/check out some of their own works (several of these women I knew virtually nothing about before hand). The collection is quite short and most of the essays follow a similar structure, so I’d recommend reading one or two at a time. Think of reading this book as a light cocktail or two during happy hour, something to enjoy before jumping back into whatever’s on your literary menu.

... moreghing out loud. I also enjoyed being able to indulge my ADD self and jump around within the book, reading which author I wanted to read next. One caveat: much of my pleasure came from knowing quite a lot about the authors (English major, remember?) portrayed here. I don't know if a reader who didn't know the subjects would enjoy this as much. less

It was alright. I thought that the concept was great. I just wish that it was executed better.

Amusing, light-hearted, but also informative conversations with several late women writers.
