Humor
In a world where eye cream is made from placenta, Gina
Barreca is the lone voice calling out “But wait, whose
placenta is it?” In this collection of deliciously
quotable essays, Gina asks the big questions: Why is there
no King Charming? Why does no bra ever fit? Why do people
say "cougar" like it's a bad thing? Why do we call it a
glass ceiling when it's just a thick layer of men? Barreca
packs a hilarious punch while gleefully rejecting
emotional torture, embracing limitless laughter, and
showing women how they can conquer the world with good
friends (“It’s not that diamonds are a girl’s best friend,
but a girl’s best friends are diamonds”), sharp wit, great
shoes, and not a single worry about VPLs. Gina Barreca, Professor of English at the University of
Connecticut, wrote Babes in Boyland, They Used
to Call Me Snow White but I Drifted and co-authored
I’m With Stupid: One Man, One Woman, and 10,000
Years of Misunderstandings Between The Sexes Cleared Right
Up with Pulitzer Prize winner Gene Weingarten. She
grew up in Brooklyn, New York. In a world where eye cream is made from placenta, Gina
Barreca is the lone voice calling out “But wait, whose
placenta is it?” In this collection of essays, Gina asks
the big questions: Why is there no King Charming? Why does
no bra ever fit? Why do people say "cougar" like it's a
bad thing? Why do we call it a glass ceiling when it's
just a thick layer of men? Barreca packs a punch while
rejecting emotional torture, embracing humor, and showing
women how they can conquer the world with good friends,
sharp wit, and a bit of practical irreverance.
