![]() ![]() With engaging chapter titles like "A Lady and Her Liquor" and "The Pleasures of a Single Bed," along with a new preface by author Laurie Graff ( You Have to Kiss A Lot of Frogs), Live Alone and Like It is sure to appeal to live-aloners-and those considering taking the plunge.įirst published in 1936, with the chilling subtitle A Guide for the Extra Woman, this bestseller became a manifesto for single women (and those between husbands ) keen on embarking on stylish solitary living. Hillis, a true bon vivant, was sick and tired of hearing single women carping about their living arrangements and lonely lives this book is her invaluable wake-up call for single women to take control and enjoy their circumstances. Though it was 1936 when the Vogue editor first shared her wisdom with her fellow singletons, the tome has been passed lovingly through the generations, and is even more apt today than when it was first published. Thus begins Marjorie Hillis' archly funny, gently prescriptive manifesto for single women. ![]() "Whether you view your one-woman ménage as Doom or Adventure, you need a plan, if you are going to make the best of it." In this witty, engaging guide, a renowned Vogue editor takes readers through the fundamentals of living alone by showing them how to create a welcoming environment and cultivate home-friendly hobbies, "for no woman can accept an invitation every night without coming to grief." ![]()
