Lady Things Illustrated Encyclopedia

The Book of Jezebel, an encyclopedic guide to pop culture, feminism, fashion, sex, and much more, has emerged from the popular website Jezebel.com, which caters to women.

By 2008, the devotion of the self-appointed Jezzies had reached such a fever pitch that the New York Times published a feature story about them, and parody blogs and copycat websites began to proliferate.

Contributions from the writers and creatives who give the site its distinctive tone and broad influence have culminated in The Book of Jezebel, an essential read for the modern woman. Covering a wide range of topics, from Abzug, Bella, and The Baby-sitters Club to Xena, Yogurt, and Zits, and featuring entertaining sidebars and arresting images, this comprehensive encyclopedia is a must-read for the contemporary female reader.
