Sometimes I Post Links From My Phone. Because I'm Super-Lazy.

    When I think about religious groups that prevent women from going to school, modern day Christians are not who come to mind.

    Given the cover I suspect it was meant for prurient interest, sort of the like the old (early 70s) porn movies that promised to "tell the truth about coed dorms!"

    Keep these coming, RGM! Love it!

    A friend gave me an old reel-to-reel tape in a box labeled "How to Be Happy Though Married." It might be a counterpoint to this brochure. If only I had a way to listen to it (which was part of the charm of the gift, of course).
