(Dating) (California) Cole, Susan D. The Woman's Guide to the East Bay Singles’Scene. Richmond, CA: Wildcat Canyon Books, 1983. 8vo, 108 pp.; black and white reproductions of drawings by Judy Fein; printed color wrapper, small dampstain on fore-edge affecting perhaps 5 pages in margin only, else very good. Half-title inscription by author. Together with: Socially Responsible Singles. Socially Responsible Singles Calendar, January 10 to March 27, 1992. Pasadena, CA: 1992. Single sheet of blue copy paper, 8-½ x 11 in., printed recto only. Very Good. Excellent period snapshot of dating mores and hot spots for heterosexual women in the East Bay and socially responsible singles in Los Angeles. Written by a recent divorcée, Woman's Guide answers the questions: “Where can I meet interesting people?” “What are the current ideas about dating (Who pays? Who makes decisions about where to go? What about sex? Who calls whom?)” “Where is it safe to go alone at night?” “Can I initiate conversations with men?” The Socially Responsible Singles calendar offers “an atmosphere of social relevance and responsibility.” Romantic events include a Democratic Socialist healthcare meeting and a discussion night on Roe v. Wade. Reference made to recent Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill events. Neither recorded in OCLC. SOLD
