Mademoiselle Ovary: Sonnets of Advice for the Approach & Arrival of Young Womanhood
Poetry, often misjudged as “flowery” or frivolous, is actually a very efficient form of literature that can deliver a point of practical value in a mere few words of rhythm as opposed to multiple paragraphs of meandering prose.

The sonnets of Mademoiselle Ovary were written by a woman for the girls and young women whom she sees randomly in her daily life, and through whom she remembers herself at those ages of awkwardness and self-doubt and confusion from social, academic, and familial expectations and peer pressures.

No matter how the world changes, there remains, universally, a no more tender being in need of encouragement and unconditional love and support than a girl on the eve of womanhood and then in the new years of young adulthood.

Mademoiselle Ovary embodies all the encouragement, love, and support that the author could give and would like to have had much more of during her own time of transitioning from girlhood to womanhood.

About the Author

Mary Jo Magar is a longtime “indie” personally and professionally. She is the author of seven books, which she has successfully sold worldwide, in addition to her artworks, music, and fashion designs, without benefit of the Internet and without help from publishers, art dealers, or agents. She wrote and illustrated her first poetry book Incomplete Thoughts at the age of 17 in 1984 and self-published it at the age of 20 with money that her grandfather had given her for college, but she decided not to go to college. She is now semi-retired and will remain a lifelong believer in individuality, autodidacticism, and the philosophy of “do it yourself.”
