Maria DiBattista is professor of English and comparative literature at Princeton University, where she also chairs the film studies committee and serves on the women's studies faculty.
"This book overflows with so many superb come-backs and pub-downs
as almost to constitute an anthology of one-liners . . .
captivating."
"A reverent reading of the screwball and romantic comedies of the
1930s and '40s and the leading ladies who brought them to
life."
"Brief quotation can do only partial justice to the loving acuity
with which DiBattista considers this band of admirable women, who
give as good as they get, if not a great deal more."
