Author: MUNRO, C.K.
Title: The True Woman. A Handbook for Husbands and Others.
Description: London: Gerald Howe Ltd, 1932. An essay originally prompted by a book by H.L.Mencken. "It will be found that the examples used to illustratee particular contentions are almost always drawn from a particular stratum of society - what I believe is called the lower middle-class..the fact is that, broadly speaking, the wealthy can usually purchase an environment which fits their feelings; whille the poor usually have willy-nilly to make their feelings fit their environment. Only in the middle-class do you get a way of life in which people can in general afford to have feelings,but not to have them with impunity. It is here, therefore, that one can witness most distinctly the situations that arise from the feelings and reactions of men and women being what they are."(Foreword). Pp.223, embossed stamp "The Circulating Library, Harrods Ltd. London" to inside rear board, endpapers a little dusty. Grey cloth, gilt title to spine, boards have old water-staining. Good.
