But really, how could they know? Even women born and bred in Texas can't always answer that question.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrudence Mackintosh comes very close to an answer, though, in this endlessly entertaining book. Writing with both a wry sense of humor and an insider's compassion, she offers us a fascinating look into the world of privileged, educated, well-married, well-connected, and mostly wealthy white Texas women.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat really sets these women apart, Ms. Mackintosh tells us, is the comfortable yet demanding path they follow from their idyllic girlhoods to prominent positions in society. In thirteen essays, some of which originally appeared in \u003ci\u003eTexas Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, she charts the way stations that mark this path: summer camps in the Texas Hill Country, exclusive private schools like Dallas' Hockaday, sorority membership, and acceptance into the Junior League.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrudence Mackintosh has been both an outsider and an insider in this privileged world, and her observations are shot through with wit and real insight. \u003ci\u003eJust As We Were\u003c\/i\u003e may not be the final word on elite Texas women, but no other book has described their world with greater irony or accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA native of Texarkana, Prudence Mackintosh now lives and writes in Dallas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 1996\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51984040198445,"sku":"9780292737686","price":23.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/TjF5S3M2Rm9FRkhsZHA3SWYwVEY2QT09.webp?v=1776081553","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/just-as-we-were-a-narrow-slice-of-texas-womanhood-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
