This collection of essays observes the perils of motherhood, wifehood, selfhood, and other assorted challenges. Since its publication in 1957, it has sold millions of copies and has been adapted into a Broadway play, a film, a TV series, and now an audiobook. Jean Kerr’s parodies of the clichéd 1950s prescription for glamorous or maternal feminine behavior still resonate today as we enter the twenty-first century.

Jean Kerr (1922–2003) was an Irish-American author and playwright born in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Her collection of humorous essays, Please Don’t Eat the Daisies was a bestseller and was adapted into a film starring Doris Day and David Niven. It was also later adapted into a sitcom. Her play, Mary, Mary ran for over a thousand performances, and for a time, held the record for the longest running non-musical play on Broadway. It was later adapted into a film starring Debbie Reynolds.
