Men to Avoid.

The book's primary purpose is to help young women avoid painful mistakes with men and money. The first two chapters are focused on men to avoid, or to look at very carefully. The third deals with the psychology of male sexuality and is unusual in that no statistics are involved. The fourth and fifth are about money. The last two chapters are about hardware and cooking utensils and were written to be helpful to a young woman who is moving into her first apartment.

Alex Harding-Brown is the androgynous pen name of a teacher who has had many years to observe the problems of young women. During 20 years as a teacher at a number of colleges most of Harding-Brown's students have been women aiming for careers in health care. Equally as important are experiences as a spouse, a parent of 3 daughters, and a grandparent of 5 girls. Strong likes include members of the opposite sex, dogs, and beautiful cookware.
