this book changed my entire outlook. don't let the cover fool you, it may look like some cheesy self-help nonsense, but it actually contains many laugh-out-loud hilarious personal anecdotes that tie in to the author's ultimate message of "love thyself," which i think many grrls need to learn. i read it frequently, just at random parts of the book, when i need an injection of humor and a reminder that i am a genius if i believe it to be true. i wish i had a copy to give to every fema...more

I don't know WHAT I expected with this book but it was nothing like what I expected.

Does that make sense? It is a tongue-in-chic (like the play on words) grrls 12-step program to understanding your own fabulousness; the fabulousness in other women and the fabulousness in "enlightened males".

More a humor book than self-help but the author does make some good points.

The most intriguing part about the book, to me, was the way she kept interspersing tru...more

Honestly made m laugh out loud. Not my kind of book, but it's so funny I'm really glad I read it. I liked her other book even better.

I adored this book. It's a funny, self-effacing book mixed with factoids and written in a manner that's so appoachable you barely even notice the self-help mentality and find yourself repeating it all totally credulously, much later. Cathryn Michon would make a good cult leader. I've started utilizing her very simple steps toward Grrl Geniusdom and am very proud to say, they work. I, too, have joined those ranks because I say I have. Thank you CM!

Clever and really enjoyable. I was laughing outloud for most of the book, and I got a few bits of great female history information (and some recipes!) Who says you can't judge a book by it's cover? When I say this book I knew I would enjoy it.

The perfect book to boost your flagging self-esteem. Did you know Einstein's wife was a bigger genius than he was? Me either! I liked her other Grrl Genius book even better!

I would recommend you NOT to read this book. Very dull with no real "self-help" tips. Waste of time.
