Want some books to keep you in good spirits during the US #PresidentialElections? Edwin L. Battistella's collection of insults wielded against past presidents up to #Trump & @eleanorherman's #PopularHistory of the "bedroom secrets of 🇺🇸presidents" #Linguistics #AmericanStudies

@certual I said she was 28 when she died. Page 97!

@eleanorherman I was pointing out the mistake in your book where it says she died at 40ish! I agree the dauphin did it - a fascinating read thank you x

@eleanorherman - Agnes Sorel died at 28 of mercury poisoning while pregnant with her 4th child.

@KarenK4Justice Day-um. Would anyone write that about a man?

@eleanorherman Oh! Thought it was adjacent to mine. Two things: 1. "Whatever the reasons, it has seemed that Harris’s role was to be quiet, lest she embarrass her boss with her sometimes inane, rambling remarks and a laugh that erupts from nowhere about nothing obvious to others..."

Someone alert Justices Coney Barrett and Sotomayor: this is why we can't be "civil." A clueless, unfiltered white woman in the @washingtonpost is telling the first Black female VP to quit her job. Appropriately, a preponderance of us are telling Ms. Parker to go fuck herself.

@KarenK4Justice @Halcyon270 @washingtonpost Which quote? don't see it. But thank you!

@Halcyon270 @washingtonpost Paging @eleanorherman! This quote, plus the next one-- it even includes the word "cackling." Immediatlely thought of your book, Off With Her Head.

@thatgirl57 I have no idea. What pdf came with it?

@MAG2ART Hey! Can I get involved?

I would like to start a virtual book club over Zoom starting with "Off with Her Head: 3000 Years of Demonizing Women in Power” by @eleanorherman. Let's discuss the stories that shape our perception of powerful women. #BookClub #WomenInPower 1/5

@AmericanExpress @AskAmex I have spent six hours trying to resolve this. Intellicheck told me I didn't have a "living face." Notarycam.com wouldn't take my driver's license after I sent 15 different photos of it. Pulling my hair out.

@eleanorherman Hello Eleanor, sorry to hear this. Bringing in @AskAmex to see if they can try to look into this. ^A

@AmericanExpress sucks! They closed down my account for suspected fraud, I spent four hours trying to unlock it! Still can't! I've been a loyal customer for 30 years. Shame on you Amex!

#AMEX sucks. Been a customer 30 years. They put a bogus fraud hold on my card. Been trying for THREE HOURS to get it fixed. Impossible.

@Mcoltro Thanks so much!

Reading and gifting this great book #offwithherhead @eleanorherman is a must to understand how to rip up the misogynist’s handbook and what we, men, can help change society's behavior. #LuanaPiovani

@cannafeminist @officialnhaynes Oh, I use humor as a defense against the dark! Make the sexists look stupid and laugh at them.

@officialnhaynes @eleanorherman I think these two books are going to go nicely together, although I’ll probably be in a rage for a week when I’m done reading them. #MisogynistsHandbook #SmashThePatriarchyOneBookAtATime

@TheGreeneBJ The funny thing is I never head of Afroman before this law suit. Now I am his biggest fan!

After cops raid Afroman's house, they're suing HIM for "emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation, and humiliation." This is the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life

@jenpollard1211 @greg_jenner @UnexpectedPod @JustinPollard Hope you love Off With Her Head!

This year’s Christmas book haul. @eleanorherman @greg_jenner @UnexpectedPod @JustinPollard

@ahumorlessfem As a person who has suffered from depression, I say that Humor is my Defense Against the Dark!

Reading @eleanorherman's "Off With Her Head: Three Thousand Years of Demonizing Women in Power". It is a good example of humor as a defense against misery. Because it is pretty miserable how we treat women in power.

@EddieKristan Wow! Great praise indeed! Thanks so much! Half the time writing it I was laughing, the other half I was crying!

@M_Johnston1 @GlobeDebate Thanks so much! You might enjoy my books Sex with Kings and Sex with the Queen. I think there are less than 20 basic plots of royal life. They keep repeating them.

Absolutely priceless piece by @eleanorherman on Spares in monarchies. Timely and really well written too. We must all read more historical biographies! The photos of John and Harry are compelling! @GlobeDebate

@TweeetsOfDogs Hershey!

Baby needs a chocolatey name 😍🤔
