Emergence of Eunice

My autobiography 'Emergence of Eunice' continues directly on from 'Eunice'.
It is 1960, having moved alone to the city to escape the regimented farm life and strict upbringing, I am unwittingly discovering a whole different world.

I am twenty years old, marriageable age, but who would want to marry plain ugly me?
Girls didn't want to be "left on the shelf", they didn't want to become an 'old maid'.
Girls married for security, guys married for sex.
Men expected to marry a virgin.
Marriage vows were standard, women promised to "love and obey till death do us part". These vows were lawful.
Marriage was a lottery, if you lose you bear the consequences, obey and make the most of it or suffer a life of misery.

Many changes took place during the 30 years of this book. Equality of sexes and equal rights, woman's liberation, homosexuality legalized, capital punishment abolished, and the biggest liberator for women - introduction of the pill.

I trust you will enjoy this journey with me as I unwittingly and innocently, with no professional help available, emerge though these years being guided by my conscience, my capabilities, my desires, my determination, my commonsense and my survival instincts.

I spilled my gutz without retribution in this book and was hesitant to publish while still alive, but figure now as an Octogenarian I should document life as it was during this era and be afforded a little liberty to truthfully document my personal years on this earth by revealing my unethical survival tactics.

These years that changed the world certainly changed me, be it for the good or the bad: you be the judge.
