I happened to stumble across these quotes while researching something that had absolutely no merit or connection to any manuscript I’m working on, lol.
A few words from the one and only Ms. Barbara Cartland, author of over 700 books and a legend in the world of romance writing.
I present them without commentary. It’s more fun that way. 
“A woman asking ‘Am I good? Am I satisfied?’ is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves, the less they talk to other women, the more they try to please their husbands, the happier the marriage is going to be.”
“A woman should say: ‘Have I made him happy? Is he satisfied? Does he love me more than he loved me before? Is he likely to go to bed with another woman?’ If he does, then it’s the wife’s fault because she is not trying to make him happy.”
“To sleep around is absolutely wrong for a woman; it’s degrading and it completely ruins her personality. Sooner or later it will destroy all that is feminine and beautiful and idealistic in her.”
“A man will teach his wife what is needed to arouse his desires. And there is no reason for a woman to know any more than what her husband is prepared to teach her. If she gets married knowing far too much about what she wants and doesn’t want then she will be ready to find fault with her husband.”
It’s no wonder she did so well at Romance. She definitely knows how to increase the chances of a relationship staying together. Some of her points fit pretty well into a man’s needed agenda too, especially with the self indulgent trends common today.
She really didn’t like other women much, did she? But then, most women don’t. ;)
Dame Barbara was a critter of her environment, which celebrated chastity, virginity and most other forms of feminine subjugation and enforced ignorance. If she’d been born in a trailer park in the eighties, she’d likely have a far different view of female virtue.
