Sex and the single girl
Rare Books
This guide torpedoes one of the most absurd myths of our time: that every girl must be married. Instead, it tells the unmarried girl how to be irresistily, irrepressibly, confidently, enviably single. Hundreds of practical suggestions are written with canor by a woman who was herself single for thirty-seven years. The reader is taken on a guided tour of the haunts of men and told how to flush them out. Not for the purpose of getting married but of being contentedly single until she meets a man she wants to marry -- and who wants to marry her.
