Project Gutenberg 2009-04-05 Public domain in the USA. 332 Sanborn, Kate 1839 1917 Sanborn, Katherine Abbott The Wit of Women Fourth Edition E-text prepared by Bryan Ness, Jen Haines, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from digital material generously made available by Internet Archive/American Libraries (http://www.archive.org/details/americana) "The Wit of Women" by Kate Sanborn is a collection of humorous writings and anecdotes dedicated to showcasing women's wit, likely crafted in the late 19th century. This engaging anthology sets out to challenge the prevailing notion that humor is predominantly a male domain; the author delightedly presents a series of clever remarks, puns, epigrams, and anecdotes by and about women. The book serves as a celebratory tribute, affirming that women have long exhibited a robust sense of humor and wit, often overlooked and underappreciated. At the start of the collection, Sanborn voices her aspiration to shine a light on women's humor, highlighting how historical perceptions have often dismissed it. She shares her personal motivation to assemble this volume, noting the difficulty of finding adequate material but excited by the abundance of humor she recalls from illustrious women throughout history. Through witty observations and a playful tone, she explains the melancholic tendencies of women poets contrasted with the crisp, sparkling humor she wishes to uncover, setting the stage for a richer exploration of women's contributions to the landscape of comedy and wit.
