It’s great to be a woman and it’s great to live in the exiting 1930s! At least that’s what novelist and scenario writer May Edgington wrote in her short story for the magazine “Modern Woman”. In the story she tries to find out who these “dangerously living” women are. Although both accompanying pictures and frontpage of the magazine show adventurous women like Amy Johnson and Elsie Wisdom, May Edginton arrives at another conclusion: she is not “…the beautiful, not the rich or the exceptionally talented woman. It is the quiet woman with the very female smile and the understanding eye… She is a woman who has the rare temperament to be herself.”
