4.0 out of 5 stars No Modern Woman Should Be Without It!, March 28, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Modern Woman's Guide to Life (Paperback)
I cannot imagine why this book went out of print and why there have been no more editions. With its diversity of topics (plumbing repair, dressing for success, ditching a beau) and its diversity of authors (hundreds of Modern Women, just like me!), this book has kept me entertained and informed for years. Some of the fashion advice is a bit old and the sexual health information could definately use an update, but the book has held up remarkably well over time. I guess plumbing technology and beau ditching just hasn't changed that much over the decade.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe this is out of print!, March 28, 2004
My mother gave me this book when I left home for college, almost 20 years ago. My niece is about to start college, and I thought this would be the perfect gift. I was very surprised that it is out of print! With the exception of a couple of sections that could use an update, this book is still very much appropriate to women of every age. Occasionally I still read through it and find something useful.

I am looking for a similar book, but haven't found anything that is remotely as good. I think I'll need to pass on my copy to my niece! It is too bad that this book didn't continue with updated additions.

As a side note, I'm a big reader. As strongly as I've felt about books from all genres, this is the first time I've been motivated to write a review.
