"Becca Anderson's Badass Women would make a great gift for a woman to give to or pass on to a woman friend, however. Reading it will make you feel like a part of the sisterhood of women." ―Mom and Me"Sometimes we women need quotes and pick-me-ups to get motivated or to have our spirits lifted. Badass Women Give the Best Advice is a book for and about women (no men allowed!). This is not a book that you read once and put away. It's good as a conversation starter or to refer to when you want to feel big on girl power.

There's also quick rundowns on writer Simone de Beauvoir, advocate Amelia Bloomer, and much more. So fun!" ―Heck of a Bunch Blog"Amazing true tales about wild women of yore that entertain as much as they enlighten.
