Thames Books:Witty, Wicked & Wise - Dominique Enright (compiler)

Witty, Wicked & Wise
Dominique Enright (compiler)

This fascinating and highly amusing compilation of over five hundred quotations proves that women throughout the ages have enjoyed showing off their wit and wisdom - and being a little wicked with it, too.

Here are royal ladies, society ladies, leading, literary and political ladies, all of whom were blessed with fine minds, barbed wits and, on occasion, very sharp tongues.

'I will make you shorter by the head' Queen Elizabeth I

'I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal' Jane Austen

'I'm not denying that women are foolish. God Almighty made them to match men' George Eliot

'There are people who have money and people who are rich' Coco Chanel
