Who was Helen Rowland?
Helen Rowland was an American journalist and humorist. For many years she wrote a column in the New York World newspaper called Reflections of a Bachelor Girl. Many of her pithy insights from these columns were published in book form, including Reflections of a Bachelor Girl, The Rubáiyát of a Bachelor, and A Guide to Men.
She is often confused with Helen May Rowland, a singer-actress who had a brief radio and recording career in the early 1930s.

- A widow is a fascinating being with the flavor of maturity, the spice of experience, the piquancy of novelty, the tang of practiced coquetry, and the halo of one man's approval.
- Don't waste time trying to break a man's heart; be satisfied if you can just manage to chip it in a brand new place.
- A man's desire for a son is usually nothing but the wish to duplicate himself in order that such a remarkable pattern may not be lost to the world.
- Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near.
- It takes one woman twenty years to make a man of her son -- and another woman twenty minutes to make a fool of him.
