Difficult woman extraordinaire Elizabeth Wurtzel has written the ultimate bitch-book titled "Bitch. In praise of difficult women". It's a wowzer of a book! Trying to read it is a bit like running down hill at top speed and feeling like you're about to trip in your own feet. Sounds scary? Read an excerpt.
Wurtzel is writing like her pen is on fire. It is sometimes hard to keep up with her string of thought, and being slightly eurosentric doesn't make the read any easier. There are lots of references to people and politics in America that I've never heard of, but don't let that scare you away from a good read!
The theme she explores is "difficult women" and what happens to us when we stick our necks out. From biblical Delilah to modern Madonna, Wurtzel races through histories and events at breakneck speed(and knowing her, she probably was doing speed at the time).

The book cover shows Elizabeth naked and giving the finger. It caused an uproar in the U.S. Here, we didn't think twice of it.
I guess being a difficult woman is more difficult in America than anywhere else on this planet. Sigh...
