"The best thing about the Depression was the way it reunited our family and gave my sister Mary a real opportunity to prove that anybody can do anything, especially Betty."
After surviving both the failed chicken farm - and marriage - immortalized in The Egg and I, Betty MacDonald returns to live with her mother and desperately searches to find a job to support her two young daughters. With the help of her older sister Mary, Anybody Can Do Anything recounts her failed, and often hilarious, attempts to find work during the Great Depression.
Anybody Can Do Anything (Audible Audio Edition) Betty MacDonald Heather Henderson Post Hypnotic Press Inc Books
An autobiography written about the author's life during the Great Depression detailing in a very funny and touching way the myriad of small admin jobs with lecherous old bosses and a few other quirky ones that she and her sister did to support their family. The descriptions of her family life are also witty and endearing. I highly enjoyed this book and found that her inspiring words still endure to the present day. If you've ever known how hard it can be sometimes to find the right job, or even harder, the right career, then this book is for you.Product details

Anybody Can Do Anything (Audible Audio Edition) Betty MacDonald Heather Henderson Post Hypnotic Press Inc Books Reviews
I Love books about Betty Mac Donald.
This book is hard to find, so if you get the chance, snap it up!
This is a hilarious account of the author's life post-"Egg & I."
Betty moves from the chicken ranch back to her family's home in Seattle.
Sister Mary, undaunted by the fact that Betty has no experience, eagerly launches Betty's business career and social life.
The mishaps that ensue are absolutely hilarious.
Skillfully written, this book makes the Depression a laugh riot.
BUY IT!
I only wish that Betty had written more books.
Funny, well written, delightful. Betty helps bring the 1920s and 1930s to life with her comical perspective and authentic voice. I have all of her books and I wish she had written more!
Excellent buy! I received a pulled from circulation library book with library binding and a first edition. It was in great condition. I enjoyed Betty MacDonald's slice of life of the Depression in Seattle, Washington. A fun read.
And that's saying a lot. I love Betty MacDonald's books. I wish there were more. "Anyone Can Do Anything" is funny and engaging, never maudlin. Wonderful read.
we get the story of what she and the children did with themselves.
Her father had been a mining engineer, and although he died fairly young he had been able to save quite a bit; her mother had come from a 'good' East Coast family--not REALLY rich, but apparently quite well off. Betty and her siblings had grown up in large houses with music and dance lessons. However, the Great Depression reduced the family's portfolio to wastepaper. The children had never been taught to actually *do* anything, and actually going out to work for a living was something that they (especially the daughters) had never thought that they would have to do.
The story of how they scrambled to make ends meet during the 1930s would have been grim, but the Bard family despises self-pity above all other faults, and Betty is able to find humor in any situation.
After women having to work to survive during the 1930s, and having to work in the 1940s when all the men were off to war, is it any wonder that the women of this generation and their daughters wanted to retreat into domesticity during the 1950s?
I am in the middle of this book, and absolutely love it. It is enjoyable and light-hearted, and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny! Depending on your convictions and tastes, it would not be friendly for little ears, so use caution when reading it aloud to the family. I would recommend this book to others.
