That same engaging sensibility bubbles through the twenty-nine essays in Bachelor Girls, in which Wasserstein presents her observations on: \u003cbr\u003e-- Boyfriends -- \"The worse the boyfriend, the more stunning your American Express bill.\"\u003cbr\u003e-- Role Models -- \"In the forties emulating an ideal woman meant bobbing your hair like Betty Grable's. In the eighties, because of Jessica Lange, women have to get a Pulitzer Prize-winning actor-playwright to fall in love with them, have a child by one of the world's great dancers, be nominated for two Academy Awards, and enjoy doing the laundry alone on a farm.\"\u003cbr\u003e-- Success -- \"I knew my friend Patti was a big-time Hollywood agent the first time I saw her dial a telephone with a pencil.\" \u003cbr\u003eRanging from the dietary secrets of lemon mousse to the politics of the second marriage, with stopovers at a bar mitzvah in Westchester, a chess tournament in Rumania, and a Tokyo production of Isn't It Romantic, Bachelor Girls is pure Wasserstein, which is to say, pure joy. \u003cp\u003e\"From the Trade Paperback edition.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Bachelor Girls | Wendy Wasserstein | Hardcover | 9780394561998 | Used: Like New | Essays 1682996","offer_id":50801783210242,"sku":"1682996","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71ByHyE4COL.jpg?v=1792411635","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/bachelor-girls","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
