I read the book, Fascinating Womanhood, in 2004, a year after I graduated college, and when I read through the book I was simply amazed! It sounded so old-fashioned and wholesome, and, I loved it!!! The author, Helen Andelin, articulated so well about a woman's role, and what leads to ultimate happiness for a woman, and it resonated so well with me, because I instinctively knew these thngs in my heart. But reading the book was so inspiring and renewed within me the desire to become the best woman that I could be.
Earlier this week I stumbled upon The Secrets of Fascinating Womanhood, which you can download for free, and I have been reading it on my computer as I have time. Since I have been married, I usually reread through the book whenever I have a particular problem with something, and it inspires me to work on being the best woman and wife that I can be. I have been challenged and convicted while reading through this online resource to be a better wife to my husband.
How sad I was, however, when I learned that Helen Andelin had passed away on June 7th. I am thankful to her for writing such an inspiring and powerful book, and I hope that many women who want to help their marriage become the best that it can be, will read the book and learn from it, like I have.
I encourage you to read The Secrets of Fascinating Womanhood, and see if it is an inspiration to you. It shows how women actually work though Fascinating Womanhood and the results for them. So far I have enjoyed reading it, and I hope you will too.

What! She passed away! I read her book over and over again. I was just recommending it to a friend today. I feel it's a must read for all women.
I wish the book "Secrets of fascinating womanhood" was available in regular print. I have a very hard time sitting in front of the computer reading an on-line book. It is unnatural! (smiles). But, the passing of Helen has made me want to get copies of all her books and read them. Thank you for this post.

I am sorry to hear she passed away - she has changed the lives of many women. I find myself referring to my copy time and time again and plan to give them as gifts from now own - many may not be able to receive the teachings, but they will be getting one anyway :-)
I found her book when I was 15 (10 years ago) while going through my mother's library. I was fascinated at the concept of femininity, something despised by most of today's women. I have reread it over and over, and taken it into my new home now that I'm married. (Although I haven't had the courage to get a copy for any of my friends..) It's basic stuff we women should treasure and pass on to our daughters as it really does make the basis for a happy marriage.
Hello. And Bye.
