The apologetic life is not worth living. Anyone can think I'm a bimbo, but not just anyone can look this good naked. Medea is a woman undone who is obviously capable of anything.

Bitch In Praise of Difficult Women Barbara Raskin of The Washington Post Book World says, "Bitch is a show-stopping, name-dropping, gossip-dishing, wild rock-n-roll performance--a Janis Joplin-Courtney Love-Madonna-style raucous, raving, ranting, shout-in-your-face soliloquy.... Her analogies, similes and metaphors are wildly exuberant, and exciting." |
