“Gina G is a national treasure, a rare kind of legend who’s more than an actress and storyteller; she’s a rock and roll goddess, proof that grit, glamour, and guts are still stitched into the fabric of fame. Opening up about her times with Prince and wild days in the deep Valley, for fans and friends alike, it’s a ride as electric as she is.”
—Miley Cyrus

“Just like Gina—this book is fucking wild, soulful, hilarious, and somehow looks you directly in the eye and tells it like it is. LET THE GERSHONAISSANCE BEGIN!”
—Aubrey Plaza

“AlphaPussy is neither a memoir nor a guide to self-betterment, but elements of both feed into Gershon’s stories. Each wittily titled chapter plunges readers into Gershon’s freewheeling 1970s childhood, defiant adolescence, burgeoning performance career, and collaborations with some of the biggest names in film (including Sharon Stone, Paul Verhoeven and Tom Cruise) . . . This is not a titillating tell-all, and all the better for it . . . In AlphaPussy, Gershon’s real-life stories deal with ‘themes of manipulation, survival, and moving around and being able to stand on your own two feet.’”
—Los Angeles Times

“Magnetic and self-assured, Gina Gershon made a name for herself in Hollywood as a risk-taker, often taking on queer roles in cult classics like Bound and Showgirls. Needless to say, her willingness to step into the bold and unconventional meant that she often found herself in some pretty surreal or sticky situations. After forty years in the industry, the Los Angeles native compiled dozens of them in her new book AlphaPussy, a chronicle of coming-of-age blunders and cringe-worthy celebrity encounters that only made her stronger . . . AlphaPussy, in fact, leaves the reader with a potent feeling of empowerment and autonomy.”

“We were there to celebrate the release of her memoir, AlphaPussy: How I Survived the Valley and Learned to Love My Boobs, her second book using the word ‘pussy’ in the title. ‘It’s never sexual!’ she clarified. The concept of the ‘AlphaPussy’ first came to her after her performance as Cristal Connors, the reigning bisexual doyenne of the Vegas dance revue in Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls. After receiving harsh reviews from critics and the public, she saw herself as a mother cat, needing to reestablish her dominance . . . Each chapter in the book features a short, punchy vignette describing a situation in which Gina learned to stand her ground. Many are funny, some are sentimental.”
—New York Magazine

“In Gershon’s outstanding collection of anecdotes and reflections from her wild and unconventional life, fans will learn a great deal about the actress . . . All of Gershon’s hyperactive craziness is on full display in this showy memoir from an underappreciated actress who may not have an Oscar, but who has played Carnegie Hall three times. Gina Gershon’s ascent toward becoming a true ‘alphapussy’ is a wild ride.”
—Bay Area Reporter

“Gina Gershon is the coolest woman on the planet, and AlphaPussy is the coolest, most fun, hottest, most punk book of the year.”
