Creme de la Femme is a thoughtful compilation that unites the sharp writing of Gloria Steinem with the wry musings of Erma Bombeck.  Here is Joan Rivers mocking institutions, Merrill Markoe educating, and many more women teaching, learning, growing, loving, leaving--in a let's-not-take-ourselves-too-seriously way.Arranged thematically into topics like politics, equal rights, relationships, men, family, aging, you'll find humor ranging from the ironic to the sublime.  In addition, all this funny business is for a good cause--all royalties and a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to The American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR), the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
