There's not much more to say about this title. It's a slim volume and since it's just captions and images, it reads very quickly. The backmatter lists all the works of art, their artists, and where you might find them (e.g., the Metropolitain Museum of Art). The foreword by comedian Jen Kirkman very succinctly explains the reasoning behind the book for anyone still not getting it:
"If you're a dude, you may be tensing up right now and wanting to put this book down and tweet at Nicole, 'Not all men mansplain!'
