Amy Poehler would love to write a book about her famous friends.

The 'Parks & Recreation' star, who has just released her memoir, 'Yes Please,' doesn't think it's fair that female comediennes, including her pals Tina Fey, Mindy Kaling and Rachel Dratch, are "lumped together" because she insists they're all "unique and special" so would love to write about them.

The 43-year-old star said: "My dream would be to write a book about my talented and famous friends and just spend a chapter on each.

"It would be a dream not only because it'd be so easy to write about how much I love their hearts and their work, but also I wouldn't have to write about myself.

"When you're a 'woman in comedy,' you're all kind of lumped together in this weird soup, whereas if you go back and read the books of any of these women, you're reminded of how different and unique and special and interesting and specifically skilled everybody is."

Amy admits she is proud to be a feminist and thinks people are "much more alike" than different.

She added to Entertainment Weekly: "I love when women use that word because it's a beautiful word.

"I also think everyone's trying to figure out their place in all of it. At the end of the day, I think we are all much more alike than we are different."
