It ' s A Woman ' s World . . . No one has to tell us about women. We know enough. Each day for us is something from a television program, probably The Young and The Restless or The Secret Storm.

J : We were designed to delight, excite, and satisfy the male species. Napoleon: Women are nothing but ma- chines for producing children. Yes, this is what we are up against. But Belles of the world with our Noxzema, Ultra Sheen, Vaseline, Montaldo ' s boxes, and Prago Guyes pants, are steadily saying This is a man ' s world, but it would be nothing without a woman or a girl. We ' ve discovered that it makes no difference whether our hair is fried, fro ' d, straight, or curly we are preparing to fight the same battles; To make it. We are finding out who we are and where we are going. We are ready for the world because we have survived in a woman ' s world.
