Gotta get me one of these

Harking back to the days of the Tzena Urena, Artscroll has come out with a special siddur for women, which includes an "inspiring new Overview by Rabbi Nosson Scherman" (couldn't they get a woman to write something???), Women's Halachic guidelines for Shabbos and Yom Tov candle lighting, separating challah, Kiddush, Havdalah, Additional hard-to-find prayers not found in a regular Siddur, including prayers for: Shidduchim, Wedding day, Pregnancy and childbirth, Raising Children, visiting holy places in Israel, all of Tehilim, and special wording for women's mezuman, a prayer for Agunot, and guidelines and instructions for women's prayer groups and Megillah readings.
OK, just kidding on the last few.
