Down with a world in which the guarantee that we will not die of starvation has been purchased with the guarantee that we will die of bordeom.

This is the opening quote to Elizabeth Wurtzel’s, “Bitch In Praise of Difficult Women” My only complaint about the book, which I am clearly just beginning, is the cover. What woman wants to carry around a book with a naked woman baring her back gazing over her shoulder at you. This cover image has prevented me from reading the book. I don’t read most chic magazines for this reason. The mascara-laden lashes and the bleached hair suggest that the book was marketed to a different audience. A friend suggested that the market was just emerging “back then” to accept partial nudity in publications… in 1998?!? I don’t think so. Maybe it was cutting edge for Doubleday Press, but not bitchy enough for me. Sultry and sexy are not automatically synonymous with intelligent and autonomous. I may have to staple a brown bag to the front to be able to get through it.
