The Man Who Understood Women\u00a0<\/i>brings together a collection of short stories, syndicated worldwide and published over the last 50 years, which reflect the changing role of women in society. Between 1956 and 2013 the stories have appeared in magazines including\u00a0Adam International Review\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0Cosmopolitan\u00a0<\/i>– as well as in\u00a0HouseWife<\/i>,\u00a0Good Housekeeping\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0Woman\u2019s Realm<\/i>, titles which in themselves provide a reflection of their readers\u2019 erstwhile place in society.<\/p>\n
[vc_separator type=’transparent’ position=’center’ color=” thickness=’10’ up=’0′ down=’0′]<\/p>\n
The stories in this collection shed light on the social emancipation and growing independence of women as they begin to overturn centuries of tradition. While each story may not take long to read, their effects are far reaching and they are as entertaining today as when they first appeared.<\/p>\n

Reflecting a gradual but heady change in women\u2019s circumstances,\u00a0The Man Who Understood Women\u00a0<\/i>provides a perceptive and convincing picture of inner lives which contemplate a future for women brighter and infinitely more exciting than any they had hitherto imagined. From the spinsterish Miss Phipps, with her lending library, who opens the door for her female readers to fulfil their fantasies – through the man whose life is haunted by an adolescent misdemeanour and the sad and sexually predatory New York millionairess – to the modern divorc\u00e9e who briskly road-tests her internet date, the stories provide a witty and poignant portrait of women in a rapidly changing world.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”top” advanced_animations=”no”][vc_single_image image=”112″ img_size=”” onclick=”custom_link” qode_css_animation=”” link=”https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1909807257\/smartwebshop-21″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][vc_raw_html]JTNDc3BhbiUyMGlkJTNEJTIycGFyaXNzdW1tZXIlMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZzcGFuJTNF[\/vc_raw_html]Buy from Amazon<\/a>[vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#a4a4a4″ thickness=”1″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][qode_elements_holder number_of_columns=”two_columns” columns_proportion=”66_33″][qode_elements_holder_item item_padding=”0px 40px 0px 0px” vertical_alignment=”top” advanced_animations=”no” item_padding_1280_1440=”0px 40px 0px 0px” item_padding_1024_1280=”0px 40px 0px 0px” item_padding_768_1024=”0px 40px 0px 0px” item_padding_600_768=”0px 0px 0px 0px” item_padding_480_600=”0px 0px 0px 0px” item_padding_480=”0px 0px 0px 0px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [vc_separator type=’transparent’ position=’center’ color=” thickness=’10’ up=’0′ down=’0′]<\/p>\n ISBN 978 0709076216 [vc_separator type=’transparent’ position=’center’ color=” thickness=’10’ up=’0′ down=’0′]<\/p>\n In the hottest summer in living memory, Judith Flatland, together with her two children, leaves Boston and her work at the Museum of Fine Arts, to follow her husband, Jordan, to Paris, where he is about to finalise a high-profile business deal.<\/p>\n [vc_separator type=’transparent’ position=’center’ color=” thickness=’10’ up=’0′ down=’0′]<\/p>\n Bored with her role as ‘corporate wife’, conscious of her age, and suddenly aware that she has become sexually invisible, forty-two year old Judith feels jealous of and threatened by her nubile daughter and gets the impression that life is passing her by.<\/p>\n [vc_separator type=’transparent’ position=’center’ color=” thickness=’10’ up=’0′ down=’0′]<\/p>\n Cheating on her marriage and unable to help herself, Judith is drawn into a passionate affair with F\u00e9lix Dumoulin, an urbane young artist.
