About the Book

Starbucks® has published a quip from the book on 5 million cups.

Ever fall for the lure of expensive, exotic moisturizers promising impossible anti-aging miracles? Ever receive one of those happy, sappy New Year’s letters from someone you barely remember from fourth grade? Can’t decide whether to stay friends with a size two woman who won’t eat a carrot because of its high-carb content?

If so, you’re in good company. Award-winning humorist and Bikram yoga dropout Judy Gruen copes with all this and more in The Women’s Daily Irony Supplement. Her riffs on female obsessions, motherhood, men, and why a woman’s home is her hassle are candid, fresh, and surprisingly intimate.

  • Named ForeWord Magazine’s Book of the Year Award in Humor! (GOLD)
  • Silver “IPPY” Award from Independent Publisher
  • Bronze Award, Benjamin Franklin Book Awards

Praise for The Women’s Daily Irony Supplement

“I love books that sell themselves”

“I love books that sell themselves, and I had orders for The Women’s Daily Irony Supplement before it even made it to the shelf. This book will find a home on my humor shelf, and I hope it will find a home on the Book Sense Picks List too! Bravo.”

– Keri Holmes, bookseller, The Kaleidoscope, Hampton, Iowa

Reminds me that marriage is funny

“Judy Gruen is the only writer who reminds me that marriage is funny. Now when my wife gives me a speech about how I should change at my inner core, instead of having that stupid look on my face that all men have, I remember Part V.”

Mark Schiff, author, I Killed: True Stories of the Road from America’s Top Comics
