The Single Girl

Who is the single girl? How does she live? How did she get that way?

Here is a book which examines her problems -- lesbianism, bisexualism, alcoholism, frigidity, nymphomania, narcissism, sadomasochism, or asexualism -- and seeks to gain some measure of understanding of the various types of girls who get trapped by so-called single blessedness.

Through illuminating case histories culled from his private files, Dr. Brown probes into the lives of unmarried women and explains why -- having chosen or been forced into an abnormal life -- the single girl must re-channel her existence via adjustment, sublimation or a return to the normal, in order to find real happiness.
