Helen andelin fascinating woman hood pdf

Absolutely amazing book. Insightful, practical, simple and full of wisdom. Easy to implement. I love this book and it's become part of my life now, it ... really helped change my perspective and attitude toward men and dating and myself, and I feel my future is much more promising now. This book equipped me with the skills, knowledge and understanding I needed to find and keep my Mr. Right. Would definitely recommend to any women interested in dating and how to properly attract a man. Only disclaimer: Its views and advice are quite traditional/conservative and old-fashioned and more progressive women may find parts offensive. You can overlook or ignore those parts though. If you're already more traditional like me it won't bother you at all, or maybe it might make you become more traditional. Many of its principles can be applied regardless, you just need to be open to and comfortable with the idea of embracing your femininity.

In 1961, Helen Andelin, housewife and mother of eight, languished in a lackluster, twenty-year-old marriage. A religious woman, she fasted and prayed for help. As she studied a set of women’s advice booklets from the 1920s, Andelin had an epiphany that not only changed her life but also affected the lives of millions of American women. She applied the principles from the booklets and found that her disinterested husband became loving and attentive. He bought her gifts and hurried home from work to be with her. Andelin took her new-found happiness as a sign that it was her religious duty to share these principles with other women. She began leading small discussion groups for women at her church. The results were dramatic. In 1963, at the urging of her followers, Andelin wrote and self-published Fascinating Womanhood. The book, which borrowed heavily from those 1920s advice booklets, the Bible, and classical literature, eventually sold over three million copies and launched a nationwide organization of classes and seminars led by thousands of volunteer teachers.

Countering second-wave feminists in the 1960s, Andelin preached family values and urged women not to have careers, but to become good wives, mothers, and homemaker
