Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Uncommon, With Dustwrapper

The first edition of this work.

In the original unclipped dust wrapper. In the original cloth binding.

A quippy satire suggesting various paths for a post-war woman to take. This comes suitably after the famous war effort, where the stereotypes of women and careers had been highly challenged.

Sections include 'Gambling as a Career for Girls', 'Gold Digging and Sugar Daddies' and 'New Ideas for the Holidays'.

Illustrated with colour drawings from 'Vicky'.
