This little book, of only 157 small pages, makes an important contribution to the literature of Mental Health on a subject but rarely discussed.
The writer reveals a deep understanding and a sensitive appreciation of the urgency of a fundamental human problem which is becoming increasingly common, and she does not hesitate to write of it in all its aspects?physical as well as emotional and mental?her treatment of it being at once restrained and fearless. The chapter on Emotional Friendships should be particularly illuminating to those who are not afraid to face up to the challenge it presents, and the chapter on Sexual Inversion should help towards a better understanding on a topic about which such widespread ignorance and misconception exists.
In the final chapter, there is a plea for a change in the attitude of the community towards the single woman, and the book ends on a Simulating note of encouragement and hope. A.L.H.
