"Most of those who have married have no idea how they ever came to do such a thing."
Published in the last years of Queen Victoria's reign, this fascinating book provides sensible, remarkably modern guidance for Britain's unmarried women and girls. In the age of the idealized "New Woman," it encourages activity and even employment ("the more remunerative the better") as an alternative focus, and acknowledges a new era of social change: "We may all some day think no more of the sex in bloomers giving high kicks at football than we do now of cycling skirts and golf-playing."
