The Book of Jezebel: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Lady Things by Kate Harding, Anna Holmes, Amanda Hess
3.0
Funny, interesting, and covers a lot more ground than I anticipated. I do wish they'd sacrificed perhaps some of that breadth for depth, and their coverage of people, events, and issues was more appealing than their coverage of random words ("unfriend").
Also, why a section on Barnard and none of the other Seven Sisters? There was a bit on the Seven Sisters themselves but no other individual school was name-dropped, even though at 3-4 Mount Holyoke alumnae were named, and 1-2 Smith names were highlighted.
