The Quotable Woman, The First 5,000 Years

"Anyone who spends any time on the World Wide Web will appreciate the ‘vast quarry’ imagery and the ‘pious work of salvage’¹--and organization--that Partnow's books provide....What makes Partnow's works especially appealing as reference works is that she provides source information for every single one of the 19,000 quotations, which are from 3,657 women."
-- Feminist Collections (v.22, nos. 3-4, Spring/Summer 2001), (¹from Melancholy Objects, On Photography, by Susan Sontag, 1977)

The Quotable Jewish Woman

"The book . . . is like having your grandmother's wisdom tucked in your back pocket."
-- Managing Editor Irish Ruth Pastor, The American Israelite (Cincinnati), July 29, 2004

The Female Dramatist

"It is marvelous to see so many creative and influential women gathered in one spot...fills an empty niche for biographical material on women dramatists and is recommended for both public and academic libraries." - American Reference Books Annual
