Every Girl is Entitled

Yes every girl is entitled to a bunch of stuff but this handy self-help book from 1964 promised that what you are entitled to is a Husband.  I shutter to think how much it may have influenced me in those impressionable years!

It starts out by giving the reader a pep talk on why it's better to be married (you can toss the girdle, padded bra and high heels) and moves on to warn against going all-the-way before the ring is on your finger (the old "why buy the cow when the milk is free").  In all fairness, those are not the only reasons she gives for securing a spouse and many are still relevant almost 50 years later.

I heard a statistic yesterday that said single people may soon be the majority in this country, down from 75% married awhile back.  Perhaps it's time for an updated edition??
