Only recently I found out about Victoria Woodhull. Thanks to someone on Twitter mentioning Victoria Woodhull and that the fact that she ran for President, I became very interested in this woman. And I wondered, how could I have never heard of her? A woman running for President in the 1870s, why wasn...
I'll give this four stars because it is an informative history of Mrs. Parker's later years and afterlife adventures (not spoiling that, you'll have to read it). As noted elsewhere here, the title may mislead you because this short work tends to focus more on Lillian Hellman than Dorothy. Likely it'...
The Audio version of "The Telephone Call" just had me in tears. It was the last story and after hours of snappish and witty fun, BAM, there is this story that I can so relate to told in a voice that sounds so much like mine, lost, in pain, desperate. My God, the best short ever written...at least fo...

It's not ju...
I only read from page 445 to the end. Her short stories take up the first several hundred pages. They are dry and boring and contain not a hint of her trademark wit, so I skipped them. The miscellaneous non-fiction pieces at the back of the book are the jewels in her scribbler's crown. Book reviews,...
I'm wondering if I would have enjoyed this book better in print. I found the transitions between the 4 different people a bit jarring. The parts I was able to focus on were very interesting, but unfortunately it wasn't too hard to drift off thinking of other things while listening.This has made me...
Rating: 3.25* of fiveReviewing this book, I am more grateful than ever to the innovator who thought up the decimal-star system. No way could I rate this four stars, and three-and-a-half is a little mingy, so I really give it 3.8 stars.It's a good story...hot young honey who's famous for being famous...
