Introducing midwest native Dr. Shirley R. Simeon's memoir The Other Woman

While not from Columbus, OH, Dr. Shirley Simeon has roots in the midwest and a life story that is intriguing to all.  Read the promotional material received below from Macro Marketing and Promotions Group:

The Other Woman, written by eighty-eight-year old Dr. Shirley Simeon, is a candid and entertaining memoir about her intriguing life-story where she has had more wives than husbands. This controversial book is certain to become a book club favorite and one that will have readers lifting an eyebrow while saying, "Really? People actually did that back then? And no one talked about it?"

About The Other Woman

In The Other Woman, Shirley Simeon recalls her personal experiences growing up in Chicago, forty years working in the fields of education, social work, and psychology, being married to the same man twice, raising two sons, and having passionate, substantive relationships with a variety of accomplished women. It is the story of many romantic relationships - all with upstanding, progressive, ambitious women who were significant contributors to society, none of whom thought of themselves as categorically, Lesbian. Many utilized their relationship with Simeon towards greater gains professionally and personally. All discovered their own sexual appetites. No one was damaged in the process. No one was abused.

The Other Woman is a pun of a title since it departs from conventional usage of that term, and rather describes the pilgrimage of the author of being born in Chicago in the 1920s to a family of privilege, and at the end of life experiences a stunning revelation: her own, "other-ness" emerges. Simeon has spent a lifetime proving her belief that love is not gender specific and that labels for the sexual preferences of individuals are meaningless.

Readers are sure to be captivated by her honest and since style of writing and how she bares her soul in this wonderful book.

$15.49/Trade Paperback/ 168 pages $28.99/Hardcover ISBN-10: 1425940153 ISBN-13: 978-1425940157
