Synopsis
The first book of lists purely to celebrate women, a remarkable ramble of discovery through achievements, oddities, people, places and things; women who are noble, courageous, scheming, inspired, infamous, amorous, talented and trailblazing--a joyous tour of the ordinary and the extraordinary: heroes, entrepreneurs, spies, lovers, scientists, outlaws, inventors, sleuths, soldiers, artists, fighter pilots and board chairwomen--perfect for reference or browsing. A unique compendium, complete with 450 lists (some by such notables as Beverly Sills, Helen Hayes, Barbara Cartland, Helen Gurley Brown, Alan Alda, and many others), over 5,000 entries, 28 pages of illustrations, bibliography and index; a book to thumb through, make discoveries in--and just plain enjoy.

Lilith: who, according to an ancient Jewish legend, was Adam's first wife and was created, as he was, from the dust of the earth. . . .
