Bitch in the House: Women Tell the Truth About Sex, Work, Solitude, and Marriage (Unabridged Selections) Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This is a very empowering book for women. It gives several different viewpoints on pretty much every subject that women struggle with. Some of the short stories I didn't agree with (the open marriage for one) but it was well worth the read. I will swap if someone wants to read it. "

" Well, this book tells it like it is. There is no sugar coating in this book which really impressed me. Rarely have I seen a book that I can really relate to in regards to motherhood and marriage and work ect. The stories are brutally honest. These woman talk about things that you can't even tell your friends sometimes. It's nice to know that I am not the only one who is pretty much a bitch. "

" A few good essays, but mostly.... whine, whine, whine. "

" this bitch book STAYS in my bitch house "

" Basically it's a book of essays by women talking about their life choices, guilt, anger, love, resentment, self-consciousness, self-discovery... The stories/examples of the writers' lives won't apply to all readers obviously, but I liked reading their perspectives even if I couldn't apply their experiences to my life. The writers touch on things we don't always feel okay talking about for fear of judgement. "

" I love this book. I will buy it for every newly wed and mother to be for the rest of my life... "

" I've never enjoyed a collection of essays more than "Bitch." My new husband was worried when he say me reading this on our honeymoon, but the essays, while brutally honest, promise hope and love. If you're a woman who has ever felt alone in her experiences of motherhood, loving, rearing childhood, marriage, or work, then you should order this book immediately. "

" The essays in the book are interesting. Some have referred to it as "whining by women who have it all". Well, aren't women whiners when they tell it like it is. I put in to perspective each essay and I found each essay GREAT and DIFFERENT. As I am in my mid-30's now I should read the essays again. "

" A book that I have had for awhile but I decided to read it now since I fit the "Work, motherhood, marriage" categories. I love short memoir collections and this book did not disappoint. There were some that I felt like were a little over-the-top or whiny but several of the motherhood ones rang true and particularly the ones about motherhood & marriage. Definitely a book I'll pull out again after I have baby #2! "

" this is a great essay collection (subtitle says it all). i especially like the pieces on motherhood. "

" quick funny read. and all women can relate to at least one of the stories! "

" So nice to hear honest accounts from women about what their lives are really like. If only we all spoke truthfully about our experiences and challenges as women. "

" interesting perspectives and examples. made me appreciative of my life and marriage (at least for a 1/2 hour). "

" I like it. GREAT book. It is sincere, raw, real and the women just speak from the heart. More people should read this so that these negative, dysfunctional gender roles and societal projections become obselete once and for all. "

" An inside look at the private lives of women from ages 25 and up. Topics addressed: single life, marriage, children, motherhood, career, age, aging parents, etc "

" This book made me depressed. I didn't realize there were so many angry women out there....SCARY!!!!!!!!!! I love being a women but this book gave women a bad image...women need to lighten up or something... To many control freaks..Yikes "

" fabulous - such thoughtful, heartfelt essays. every time I read it I find a new one I relate to. "

" Ruby recommended this book to me a few years ago and it was helpful to read. But there was a lot of emphasis on marriage and kids, and that made it hard to relate to for me. "

" I loved this book. I didn't identify with all of the contributors but could with most. I felt like they were living my life and I had an "a-ha moment" on almost every page. "

" Some I related to, some I did not. Nevertheless, I think the concept is amazing of putting these essays of modern womanhood at home together. I think motherhood is the last bastion of feminism these days. So, I love to read others perspectives on how they are or are not managing the whole thing! "

" I'm not in love with this book. Some of the stories are interesting, some less so. I have a huge pile to read. Not sure this is worth finishing. "

" Like many anthologies, this one is hit and miss so far. There is enough here to recommend, but I'd definitely by used or borrow it and then go on to buy stuff from the authors one enjoys... "

" Eh. I didn't love it. Interesting stories, but lots of whining. "

" Documented pity parties. I hope they are proud of themselves. I'm proud to say I didn't read most of it. "

" Essays written by women mostly bashing men, Most women can relate to at least a few. Too feminist. "

" Awful, awful, awful. Married women bitching about their husbands, or the nannies or the kids or how they are unsatisfied sexually so they have affairs. Ugh. "

" I enjoyed the candid, intimate look into the minds of women...honest, forthcoming essays which encourage me to continue to find my inner "Bitch In The House" and embrace her! "

" Some essays spoke to me more than others, but overall I was entranced by these women and their stories. Their honest sharing of their lives and doubts, dreams, mistakes, choices felt like a gift. I would love to meet some of them and talk to them over coffee. "

" I loved most of the stories in this book. I read it many years ago and infact should re: read it again. "

" It sounds corny, but this book helped me get through my first year of marriage with my sanity and our relationship intact. "

" a.k.a The Neurotic Whiner in the House "

" I thought I would sympathize with the essayists in this book; instead, I found myself wondering how their children and spouses cope. Lots of misplaced rage, lots of blueprints for how I hope my life never looks. "

" Documented pity parties. I hope they are proud of themselves. I'm proud to say I didn't read most of it. "

" This book made me want to develop a lesson plan as though I were teaching a class on feminism. Lots and lots and lots of different perspectives on who we are as women now, yesterday, and a little commentary on who we might be as women in the future. Pretty freaking awesome. "

" I picked up this book during the summer of 2007 when we were in the States... love it! "

" I think I was the only one in my book club who really liked this book. It's honest, and refreshingly angry. Different perspectives, many of single women, or women without kids, life is always greener.... "

" Some I related to, some I did not. Nevertheless, I think the concept is amazing of putting these essays of modern womanhood at home together. I think motherhood is the last bastion of feminism these days. So, I love to read others perspectives on how they are or are not managing the whole thing! "
