Title: Men are such fools!
First published: June 1936
Description: This book was about Lina Lawrence, a young single typist in Manhattan in the early nineteen-thirties.  The story follows her struggle with the idea of wanting to marry the man she loves and be a wife, but not wanting to be a traditional wife. She wants a career, she believes she's good at what she does, and she does have some success.  She has to choose, at some point, because she can't have it all.  The title refers to the way Lina gets ahead - she thinks men are such fools, she'll find a way to get them to "help" her along in her career whether they know it or not.  It's an interesting read - for me from a historical perspective.
