KATE O'MARA - Game Plan. A Modern Woman's Survival Kit

London England, Sidgewick & Jackson Ltd, 1990. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0283060573 Hardback The forties and fifties can be the most exciting time of a woman's life and Kate decided to write this book in order to share her experiences, feelings and aspirations, and perhaps to inspire other prime-time women lookg for personal fulfilment. Women everywhere will readily identify with her aims: having a successful and satisfying career; relating well to her child and to her friends; creating a real home; following a diet which keeps her slim and produces high energy; choosing clothes and make-up to reflect her personal style; and, yes, having a great sex life. Kate is no stranger to controversy. She is an enthusiastic believer in the benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy for women at mid-life, despite the suggestions of health risks; she has been a vegetarian for most of her adult life - a diet which, until recently, was considered eccentric and anti-social; and she has received extensive tabloid attention for her relationships with younger men. She explains how she arrived at these and other independent views, and how they work in practice. Anyone wanting a standard health and beauty book must look elsewhere; this is a very personal guide for women seeking excitement and challenges and a little bit more from life. Illustrated.
