About the author
Irving Wallace
131听books286听followersIrving Wallace was an American bestselling author and screenwriter. His extensively researched books included such page-turners as The Chapman Report (1960), about human sexuality; The Prize (1962), a fictional behind-the-scenes account of the Nobel Prizes; The Man, about a black man becoming president of the U.S. in the 1960s; and The Word (1972), about the discovery of a new gospel.
Wallace was born in Chicago, Illinois. Wallace grew up in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He was the father of Olympic historian David Wallechinsky and author Amy Wallace.
Wallace began selling stories to magazines when he was a teenager. In World War II Wallace served in the Frank Capra unit in Fort Fox along with Theodor Seuss Geisel - more popularly known as Dr Seuss - and continued to write for magazines. He also served in the First Motion Picture Unit of the Army Air Force. In the years immediately following World war II Wallace became a Hollywood screenwriter. He collaborated on such films as The West Point Story (1950), Split Second (1953),and Meet Me at the Fair (1953).
After several years in Hollywood, he devoted himself full-time to writing books. Wallace published 33 books during his lifetime.

I must say, the first half of this book is much more engaging then the second half. Perhaps it's because Wallace has difficulty restraining himself, and as the women become more contemporary and information about them more readily available, he cannot help but include every detail. They are engaging stories of daring women, and certainly not the kind of stories you hear in school.
Wallace's main strength is that he presents the past as if it was happening now, in a way that is very rare. Of course, this means that you often have to look up the people that he makes reference to, but that's part of the charm. I do have to smile though - he seems to think that in "today's world" (1973) women are completely liberated, socially, sexually, mentally... which is clearly far from true.

Don't let the title fool you. I began reading this book in late 2005 and it took me well over two years of procrastinating to finally finish it. Although the women in question are interesting, the portraits of their lives are dry and tedious to the point where I found myself skimming the last 30 pages just to finish the bloody thing. Verdict: Ultimately forgettable.

I really enjoyed the first half of this book, there鈥檚 an excellent range of stories and people, and the writing doesn鈥檛 dip into objectifying cringiness all the time, at least. So there鈥檚 that. The latter half drags a bit but is still interesting. The prose is maybe dry, but it鈥檚 detailed enough in most cases, and the stories are inherently compelling.
A decent read which explores an interesting idea that it never really elaborates enough, but contains a wealth of anecdotes that at least frame the issue. Wallace鈥檚 conclusion comes swiftly after a massive chapter, which I found a little abrupt.
The point may be lacking, but the journey is interesting.

Me han encantado las vidas de Jane Ellenborough, Margaret Fuller y Victoria Woodhull. Seguramente mi frase favorita en el libro es esta, que se aplica con car谩cter general a todas las mujeres que se describen: "Aquello que con frecuencia se califica de ninfoman铆a es 'generalmente' promiscuidad, relativamente bien controlada, probablemente altamente selectiva y de una clase que podr铆a considerarse como relativamente normal en el caso de cualquier var贸n de nuestra sociedad".

[These notes were made in 1983:]. Not as dreadful as the title may suggest. A collection of ten to twenty-page biographies of women who fell into one of two "scandalous" categories - mistresses or radicals. I am sure Delia Bacon (who propounded the "Shakespeare is Bacon" theory) would be most upset to find herself in company with no fewer than three of Byron's mistresses, but there you have it. Wallace's prose is lucid and enjoyable, and his research seems reasonably thorough for a book evidently aimed at the popular market. The bibliography contains some interesting stuff, and I found the centre section -- women who formed the real-life models for fictional heroines - very instructive. The genesis of this collection is rather obvious, I'm afraid: the longest (and least entertaining) of these sketches is that of Lady Jane Ellenborough, the "Nympho" of the title. That piece of research is clearly the core around which the rest accumulated, and she is probably a personal obsession of Wallace's.

Again, I read this book when I was 16. In that gauche age, a complete book on the wild and rampant urges of women in the 30th century completely fascinated me. I remember being surprised by some of the names here and the voyeur in me thoroughly mystified with the apparently wicked, self indulgent women.
The books definitely absorbing and intriguing with scores of sexscapades adding to the fun.

a very provocative and insightful narration of the many women who influence history not just by their beauty but also through their feminine charms and inner strength.You'll have a greater understanding and deeper appreciation of women after reading this book.

I don't often say I didn't like a book, but this is one that falls into that category. I received it through freecycle and tried to stick with it. It is, essentially, a text book of stereotypes of women.
January 24, 2015
Not the least insight into why these women did what they do. It's kinda like a wordy National Enquirer. What's hilarious is that I am reading Beautiful You at the same time. What do we need those nasty boys for anyway?

strange, perfect 60s distillation from a pulp novelist. a study of women who made trouble for straight laced upstanding citizens.
