[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really what you're asking for, but I found a 1940s paperback novel called Government Girls at a book sale. I can't find it online or I'd link. A very vintage chick-lit read about the women who came to Washington during WWII to work for the feds and lived crowded into apartments, often experiencing life on their own for the first time. I felt like I was time traveling reading it.[/quote] DP here. Do you remember the author?[/quote] I'll look for it when I get home tonight.[/quote] I didn’t remember it quite correctly. It’s called Caroline Hicks, copyright 1951 and is a bit more lurid than I remembered. https://www.biblio.com/caroline-hicks-by-karig-walter/work/2126572 The front cover says, “Man-hungry Washington, where there are three girls to every guy.” The back cover is even better, “GOVERNMENT GIRL ON THE MAKE!” In all caps. A must-read for a DCUM book club![/quote] I’m the PP who asked for the author. Thank you very much PP! Its a very DCUM book indeed. [/quote]
