Choice bits of performance material coupled with slice-of-life biographical nuggets show what makes these women so supremely funny. And, as the author reveals, some of their best acts were foils for the soft underbelly of their less-than-funny personal lives. Who can forget Gracie Allen or Mae West ("I've been on more laps than a napkin"), Carole Lombard and the other screwball queens of the 1930s, the indestructible Martha Raye, Imogene Coca (and her TV sidekick Sid Caesar), Jackie "Moms" Mabley. Over the decades we've been treated to every style of housewife, from the lovable but zany Lucy to the outrageous Phyllis Diller ("My Playtex Living Bra died—of starvation") to the domestic goddess of the nineties, Roseanne. For sheer cerebral heft paired with canny versatility there are those brainy wits Elaine May, Lily Tomlin, and Tracey Ullman. Bette Midler, Whoopi Goldberg, and Sandra Bernhard offer entertainment that goes beyond simply funny. And just when it seems we might drown in the milk of human kindness served up by the "Queen of Nice," Rosie O'Donnell, along comes Ellen DeGeneres, whose zeal for honesty is served up comedy a la mode. Above all, there are those comediennes we've never stopped loving, from Mary Tyler Moore to Gilda Radner and Goldie Hawn. In addition to exploring the societal and cultural influences on these women, the lively text also explains how these pithy powerhouses helped shape audiences' tastes over the past 100 years—and how one performer often paved the way for another. Silverman sympathetically shows not only how women came to persevere in a man's world of entertainment, but how they came to prominence in what had been the exclusively male domain of comedy dominated by the towering figures of W. C. Fields, the Marx Brothers, and Bob Hope. Funny Ladies proves it's the women who are having the last laugh. To say nothing of causing it.
