A lady from church loaned me this humor-cartoon written book of 128 pages. She stated that it went along with our ladies class and warned my husband that I would laugh out loud on occasion. Kiss of Death. I only half-grinned a half dozen times maybe. I especially grinned at the exercise chapter when it stated that exercise would help you if you needed to beat up your male boss. Yeah, unchristian, I know, but I couldn't help it.

The ten chapters are 1. Balancing your home life and career 2. Housework 3. The Working Woman's Guide to Meal Preparation 4. Relatives, The Guilt Makers 5.Raising Children 6. Looking the Part 7. Exercises for the Working Woman 8. Coffee, The Religion 9. Time Planning 10. Climbing the Dusting Ladder of Success.

The book is dated, of course, written in the 80's, precomputer for most of us, and we have long since buried most of the hatchets about women working outside the home. In fact, I almost categorized this book as "history."

This was a great short read. I loved it! It was great for a stress relief and a good laugh.
