I received a copy of this book from
the publisher through a giveaway on LibraryThing [dot] com and the following is
my honest opinion for the book.
I extremely doubt there’s a woman alive
who’ll admit to being a bitch, primarily because of the negative stigmatism
associated with it and the exaggerated stereotypes it conjures up. Some women
might even use the excuse of “Well, it’s that time of the month,” in an attempt
to cover up and deny their bitchy behavior.
There’s an undying desire to be a
perfectionist in many women which brings this negative quality to the surface
and then is witnessed by others. This causes others to respond harshly to the
woman’s actions; however, at the same time this woman can’t acknowledge what
she has done since she believes she’s been helpful. When these confrontations
occur, these women become resentful and may at times begin shutting down trying
to help others.
Their blindness to this becomes more
evident when these women begin being a perfectionist regarding themselves. I’m
too fat. I’m not pretty enough. I must do something regarding my hair. These
are a few of the items which are destroying their self-image, etc.; despite
their having received compliments from their husbands and others.
Dr. Plumez has done a wonderful job
through the pages of her resource book in attempting to remove the rose-colored
glasses these women are wearing which allows their inner demon to thrive, transforming
them to the bitches everyone else sees. There are times when the bitch
manifests to others that their emotions become like a gun with a hair trigger,
ready to go off at any moment.
Denial has always been part of a
woman’s psyche. But now, because of this book, this part of their psyche has
the possibility of being crushed so their unforgiving inner critic can be soften,
if not banished completely.
While bitchiness is an inherited
woman’s issue, there are some men who suffer from the same condition; and G-d
knows they’ll NEVER admit to suffering from it.
For trying to open the eyes of women
everywhere and begin their liberation process of their bitchiness so they can
become more endearing to those around them, I’m giving this book 5 STARS.
