I appreciate the theme of this book and that it brought certain women to my attention whom I want to learn more about. I feel like the author tried to hard to prove that these women were 'difficult'. She could have used her words to greater effect without saying "needless to say, this made her a difficult woman" every chapter. I wanted to love this book, but I think it's a spring board to other books similar to this. ( ) From Frida Kahlo and Elizabeth Taylor to Eleanor Roosevelt & Hillary Clinton, the authors give the reared breezy sketches of women who were thought to be “difficult,” but still left significant marks on their societies and the world. Written in an easy to read breezy style that makes this book fun. An easy way to learn something. This is a celebration of notably difficult women, women who do what they choose rather than what's expected. In most cases, of course, they don't do anything that wouldn't be perfectly acceptable in men, but as we all know, the rules are different for women. We're supposed to be nice, and cooperative, self-effacing--not independent, ambitious, strong, or inconvenient. The women included here are fashion designers, politicians, athletes, artists, actors, singers, and other entertainers. Amelia Earhart, Frida Kahlo, Elizabeth Warren, Elizabeth Taylor, Shonda Rhimes, Helen Gurley Brown, Gloria Steinem, Carrie Fisher, and others are each presented as the difficult and accomplished women they were or are. It's a very lively look at them all, interesting and enlightening, and often inspiring. As a quick introduction to some really impressive women, it's well worth a bit of your time.

From Frida Kahlo and Elizabeth Taylor to Nora Ephron, Carrie Fisher, and Lena Dunham, this witty narrative explores what we can learn from the imperfect and extraordinary legacies of twenty-nine iconic women who forged their own unique paths in the world. Smart, sassy, and unapologetically feminine, In Praise of Difficult Women is an ode to the bold and charismatic women of modern history. Bestselling author Karen Karbo spotlights the spirited rule breakers who charted their way with little regard for expectations: Amelia Earhart, Helen Gurley Brown, Edie Sedgwick, Hillary Clinton, Amy Poehler, and Shonda Rhimes, among others. Their lives-imperfect, elegant, messy, glorious-provide inspiration and instruction for the new age of feminism we have entered. Karbo distills these lessons with wit and humor, examining the universal themes that connect us to each of these mesmerizing personalities today: success and style, love and authenticity, daring and courage. Being "difficult," Karbo reveals, might not make life easier, but it can make it more fulfilling-whatever that means for you. In the Reader's Guide included at the end, Karbo asks thought-provoking questions about how we relate to each woman that will make for fascinating book club conversation.
