Miss Understanding - Stephanie Lessing ISBN 0-06-113388-4 HarperCollins (Avon)
Synopsis: And so Zoe begins a lifelong study of girl behavior, and by thirty, finds herself editor of Issues magazine. Determined to raid the locker room of the female psyche and rip open the frilly fa֧ade of femininity once and for all, she sets out to reform an entire nation of women, beginning with the readers of the most notorious magazine on Madison Avenue.
It"s the feminist vs. the fashionistas.
Can Zoe stop girls from behaving badly toward other girls, and turn them into a strong, united force that can succeed in our male-dominated world? Or will her spectacularly warped sense of humor, pathetic wardrobe, and plethors of psychosomatic illnesses get her eaten alive? Zoe"s willing to risk losing it all, including her mind, but she"ll walk away with something she never dreamed she wanted: the little girl hiding inside of her.
NewBook Reviews Review:
Stephanie Lessing"s Miss Understanding is a hilarious and insightful look at how fashion has replaced feminism in today"s women"s media. Her heroin, Zoe, try"s to show the readers of a magazine why feminism has floundered because women treat each other so badly. Zoe, like everyone else, is flawed leading to many funny and honest to life encounters with the fashion driven women she is trying so desperately to enlighten. I loved this book! Hilarious, insightful, Stephanie Lessing is superb, writing with wit, charm and candor.
