Book Overview

""Ten Old Maids: And Five Of Them Were Wise And Five Of Them Were Foolish"" is a novel written by Julie P. Smith. The book revolves around ten women who have all remained unmarried and are now considered ""old maids"" in their community. The novel is divided into two parts, with the first half introducing the ten women and their individual stories. The second half of the book focuses on the five wise old maids and their journey to find purpose and fulfillment in their lives, as well as the five foolish old maids who continue to struggle with their own personal demons. The novel explores themes of love, friendship, and the societal pressures placed on women to marry and have children. Through the stories of these ten women, Smith provides a thought-provoking commentary on the expectations placed on women in society and the choices they make in order to fulfill their own desires and live a meaningful life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
