First published in 1962, this is a wonderful collection of humorous articles on feminine topics written by actress and stuntwoman-turned-writer Cynthia Hobart Lindsay.
“The art of being a woman successfully can be learned neither from life nor from a charm school. It is a quality mysteriously endowed at birth—a magic quality. If it is inherent in you, you are blessed indeed. If it isn’t, you just have to keep trying—harder, and harder—and harder.
“Plan your life, organize your time, and if you can’t learn from your own experiences, try to learn from those of others—mine, for instance. There may be a little something useful you can pick up in this “How to” in Womanship; if so, I’m grateful that I’ve contributed to easing your situation while complicating my own.
“But as you go on your womanly way, remember, and keep always in mind, the one imperative fact: You Can’t Win.” (Cynthia Hobart Lindsay)
