My Life in Agony: Confessions of a Professional Agony Aunt - Hardcover

A Queen of Advice from Cosmopolitan UK and U.S. shares all she's learned in decades of answering women's toughest questions

As a professional advice columnist for the last 40 years, Irma Kurtz has had to deal with the most intimate problems of successive generations of readers, while having to keep up with the changing mores and attitudes in British and American society. In these memoirs, she looks back on the seismic transformations that have taken place over the last four decades, as well as her own hectic and often difficult life as a single mother from America living in London. Warm, funny, and perceptive, brimming with wisdom and insight, this book is a meditation on the subjects that tend to concern and confuse us the most—from mother-daughter relationships through to eating disorders, office politics, and those perennial areas of interest: love and sex.
