The Halloween Tradition Of Romantic Tricks & Treats

The Halloween Tradition Of Romantic Tricks & Treats | Herstory | Scoop.it
From www.inherited-values.com - October 27, 2014 5:48 PM
Halloween was once steeped in the tradition of belief that the veil between this world and the next was thinnest at this time of year and so was considered a time when fortunes could be best told. ...

Men, stop lecturing women about reading romance novels

Men, stop lecturing women about reading romance novels | Herstory | Scoop.it
From www.washingtonpost.com - June 4, 2014 11:14 PM

Romance novels are attractive not just because they are a gratifying escape but also because they sometimes feel like a respite from from the significant hostility that a lot of literature shows women.

I wish I'd had these back in the clubbing days... Instead, we thought we were clever just saying these old lines. Vintage ad inside February 1947 issue of Hit Parader magazine.

In 1913, She Told Him They Couldn't Be Together. 100 Years Later, THIS Was Just Discovered. | Herstory | Scoop.it
From www.viralnova.com - December 3, 2013 10:46 PM

While searching through the attic of his father’s house, a son came across boxes of old items. The most interesting were piles of love letters sent from a man named Max. From 1913-1978, Max and Pearle wrote each other. All his letters begin with “My Sweet Pearle” and end with “Forever yours, Max”. These letters were supposed to have been burned when Pearle passed away in 1980, but the family didn’t honor those wishes, and one of the greatest love stories began to unfold.

In 1911, a woman named Pearle Schwarz met a man named Maxwell Savelle at the Country Club. They fell madly in love. Unfortunately, Maxwell would not convert to Judaism (his parents were Southern Baptists) and so they could not be together. They went their separate ways – Maxwell went into the Navy and Pearle continued to pine for him until she died. She never let go.

Pyramid-Age Love Revealed in Vivid Color in Egyptian Tomb

Pyramid-Age Love Revealed in Vivid Color in Egyptian Tomb | Herstory | Scoop.it
From www.livescience.com - November 18, 2013 4:00 AM
She was a priestess named Meretites, and he a singer named Kahai, who performed at the pharaoh's palace. They lived in an age when pyramids were being built in Egypt, and their love is reflected in a highly unusual scene in their tomb.
Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

Such a display of affection was extraordinary for Egypt during this time -- and the work of art, along with other finding in the tomb, suggest that women in Egypt's Pyramid Age enjoyed a greater level of equality than previously thought.

An opinionated woman obsessed with objects, entertained by ephemera, intrigued by researching, fascinated by culture & addicted to writing. The wind says my name; doesn't put an @ in front of it, so maybe you don't notice. http://www.kitsch-slapped.com
