Riassunto

2018 Reprint of 1960 Edition.  Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software.  Ruth Stout, already famous through her well-known book on gardening, reveals ideas on a different art -- the art of living. Written by a woman who enjoys her life so fully that she wants to share her outlook with the plethora of women who suffer exasperation and self-inflicted limitations for no good reason, this book covers everything from practical philosophy, morale boosting, shortcuts in kitchen techniques, to economical budgeting, marital adjustments, and the rearing of children. Reminding the reader of the power of women and underscoring the importance of making an art of living, the author attacks conformity without reason, denounces women's propensity for remorse and "looking back", and points out that "Making too much of too little is a pathetic and almost universal pastime", as almost any mishap with a time limit can be taken philosophically. With a definitive, individualistic, and positive view of life, she emphasizes the necessity of looking ahead, and doing only what you, as a person, deem right and desirable. A book of value to women who are so enmeshed in an unconsciously self-imposed and other-directed web of activity that they feel somewhat persecuted in the distorted role of womanhood.
