choirqueer's review against another edition
Described as the first anthology of feminist women's humor (althought it actually wasn't; https://www.bitchmedia.org/post/review-titters-book-the-complicated-history-of-the-first-humor-collection-by-women), this mixed-media collection includes essays, poetry, invented newspaper clippings, comics, and other representations. Reading it felt like I had dug around in an attic and found a dusty box of artifacts my grandma had saved. I hesitate to rate it because some of the content would be considered really offensive by today's standards, but it was doubtlessly revolutionary at the time and is valuable as a historical document and for the perspective it offers on where feminism was at that time, even if it's not as "funny" today as it would have been to, for instance, my grandma.
