Hailed as "smart and funny" by People, Gina Barreca was deemed a "feminist humor maven" by Ms. She has written for most major publications, including The New York Times, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Cosmopolitan, and The Harvard Business Review. Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor at UCONN as well as winner of its highest award for excellence in teaching, Gina's written ten books including the bestselling They Used to Call Me Snow White...but I Drifted.
"Every man should read this book. I learned that nail polish is a
form of self-care and that one should not travel overseas with a
vibrator in case TSA mistakes it for a bomb. That it's possible to
write a poem to Barbie, or to describe sex as an act where 'people
stick their genitals together for no apparent gain.' And I learned
much, much more." -- Jay Heinrichs, author of Thank You for
Arguing
"Like funny women themselves, Fast Funny Women contains multitudes.
Barreca feminist, humorist, teacher and writer has assembled an
impressive group of funny ladies for this book. Their essays peek
into classrooms, careers, care packages, and the unique and special
hell of online dating. It's a sampler of humor and humanity that
will appeal to everyone, no matter their experience." -- A.J.
O'Connell, author of A Perfect Facebook Life and Beware the
Hawk
"With its punchline, the Hollander story is like a stand-up
comedian's joke. Most of the Fast Funny Women essays, however,
aren't so laugh-out-loud. Instead, they tend to be wry takes on the
many aspects of life as a modern woman." -- Third Coast Review
