Amy and Kim go decidedly more Galentine’s Day than Valentine’s Day with an episode dedicated to Marjorie Hillis and her bestselling 1936 self-help guide celebrating the single life, Live Alone and Like It. This week’s guest is author and cultural critic Joanna Scutts, whose book The Extra Woman: How Marjorie Hillis Led a Generation of Women to Live Alone and Like It examines Hillis’s remarkable life and reclaims her legacy. Learn more about Hillis’s trajectory from spinster pastor’s daughter to glamorous New Yorker, and how she empowered Depression-era women to cultivate style and sophistication on their own terms.
