About this Item
Description:
HOLLIS, Marjorie [149] pp. The Bobbs-Merrill Company 1936 8 1/8" x 5 5/8" Drawings by Cipe Pineles Marjorie Hillis, pragmatic daughter of a Brooklyn preacher, was poised for reinvention when she moved to the big city to start a life of her own. Gone were the days of the flirty flapper; ladies of Depression-era New York embraced a new icon: the independent working woman. Hillis was already a success at Vogue when she published a radical self-help book in 1936: Live Alone and Like It: A Guide for the Extra Woman. With Dorothy Parker esque wit, she urged spinsters, divorcées, and old maids to shed derogatory labels and take control of their lives, and her philosophy became a phenomenon. From the importance of a peignoir to the joy of breakfast in bed (alone), Hillis s tips made single life desirable and chic. Seller Inventory # 19150
