About This Book

A prescriptive guide aimed at women who wish to marry, arguing that the desire for companionship is natural and challenging social double standards about female courtship. It analyzes personal qualities and social behaviors that tend to attract or repel suitors, identifies common mistakes, and offers practical methods to improve manners, conversation, appearance, and domestic readiness. Chapters move from youthful longing through widowhood, include warnings about ethics and authenticity in courting, and close with reflections on married life accompanied by selected poetic and prose passages.
