A new volume of trivia for women from the author of The Ladies’ Room Reader, “full of fascinating fun facts” (Chicago Tribune).

Did you know that . . . September is the month with the highest birthrate? Eighty percent of women think a vacation is the best way to rekindle romance? The divorce rate is 23 percent lower in cities with major league baseball teams than in those without? In ancient Egypt, between 3500 and 2500 BC, the only career not open to women was judge?

The Ladies’ Room Reader Revisited picks up where its popular predecessor, The Ladies’ Room Reader, left off. In this wildly entertaining volume, Alicia Alvrez provides even more fascinating female facts about women throughout history and from around the world.
