The book will be published by tarSIZ in September but this evening, Feinstein will have a book signing at Marianne Boesky Gallery. Simon Doonan, Cynthia Rowley, Yvonne Force Villareal and Salman Rushdie are expected to attend.

BUSINESS OF WOMEN: Business media are heavily courting women in the corporate offices (see strategies by Condé Nast Portfolio and The Wall Street Journal in recent months). In The Journal's case, the paper is feverishly expanding its coverage to include more news on culture and fashion, and the upcoming launch of a glossy magazine, WSJ. But on Wednesday, The Journal took the most literal step in creating content geared toward that audience: wsj.com added Journal Women, an online channel on "career, balance and lifestyle" specifically for women. The destination will include original content, blogs and stories from the paper oriented to females; articles still included one about AMI's Bonnie Fuller stepping down from her post, a story that broke a week ago. There will also be discussion boards. So far, the site has little advertising; Crate & Barrel is the only one that seemed to be targeted toward females. In a few months, forbes.com will also launch a women's business online network, Executive Women's Network. The site will be available by invitation only, and will offer original content as well as social networking services. Forbes.com editors and staffers of recent Forbes spin-off Forbes Life Executive Woman will oversee the site.
