Definitely a mixed bag of material, some really interesting, like the account of the rivalry between legendary restaurant critics Mimi Sheraton and Gael Greene, and an interview with Racheal Ray, but so much rather boring navel gazing and kvetching when Charlotte Druckman asks women working in the food world various questions and they give their responses.
The design of the book is troublesome. It's a paperback, but big and heavy, printed on a thick stock and with lots of space that could be better used to reduce the size of the book. I literally had a hard time holding it for more than an hour.
Definitely worth reading if you skip what you find less than appealing, and if you can prop the book on a cookbook stand and read it at a table so you don't have to hold it.
