THE SMARTEST WOMAN I KNOW

Book ID/图书代码： 00342511B45118

English Summary/英文概要： Ilene Beckerman’s first book “illuminates the experience of an entire generation of women,” wrote the New York Times Book Review in a full page of praise for Love, Loss, and What I Wore. It became a bestseller and inspired the hit Off-Broadway play by the same name. Now, Gingy returns with her fifth illustrated treasure, The Smartest Woman I Know—a tribute to the insightful woman who raised her.

It’s been said there’s nobody as smart as an old woman. That’s Gingy’s grandmother, Ettie, though she had no more than a third-grade education. She dispensed unforgettable wisdom to Gingy and her sister, Tootsie, as well as to the customers at her and (her husband) Mr. Goldberg’s stationery and magazine store, where customers ranged from Irish nannies to Sara Delano Roosevelt to Marlene Dietrich. Clever about life and love, food and men, Ettie had advice for everyone, and it didn’t hurt that she got some of her best ideas from talking things over with God, out loud.

Known for bringing wit and emotion to issues that concern women, depth and poignancy to subjects as seemingly trivial as clothes, beauty, and bridesmaids, Gingy now magically brings the irrepressible Ettie Goldberg to life.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 依琳贝克曼出版的第一本书叫做《献给所有女人的金玉良言》，美国的《纽约时报》用整整一页的文字回顾了这本书，字里行间充满了对爱的赞美、迷茫，以及讲述了依琳是如何看待着装的问题。就此，《献给所有女人的金玉良言》成为了一本畅销书，并在同一时期，由此延伸了一系列的百老汇话剧。此刻，书中的主角Gingy带着她最珍贵的人生财富，为我们讲述这个世上最聪明的女人的故事——这也是献给那个曾经养育过她，最善解人意的女人的一份厚礼。

有人说，没有人能比经验丰富的老妇人更聪明，那是Gingy的祖母艾蒂。虽然她只受过3年的小学教育，但她身上散发着令人难以忘怀的智慧魅力。她与她的丈夫——戈德堡先生经营着一家文具杂志商店，在爱尔兰，不论是家庭保姆、还是萨拉•罗斯福（美国总统富兰克林•D•罗斯福的母亲），以及玛莲娜•迪特里茜（美国演员兼歌手），都是这家杂货店的顾客。对于生活的智慧、爱、食物与男人，艾蒂总是巧妙的给予每个人恰到好处的建议，她曾说过，她的生活未曾有过伤害，而她的这些生活经验来自于上帝的悄悄话。

我们用彼此生活上的经验、智慧以及感情来关爱妇女。服饰、美容、婚礼等，在看似微不足道的小故事中，往往蕴含着深刻的含义，并能引起广大妇女强烈的共鸣。艾蒂戈德堡，她的故事为Gingy带来了神奇美妙的人生经历。(兼职翻译-YZH)
