Handwriting analysis became a cultural craze from the 1930s to the 1950s, with newspaper advice columns promising to disclose readers' character and personality through writing samples and graphologists setting up booths in Atlantic City and elsewhere to capitalize on its commercial appeal (Thornton 119, 120). Twenty Remarkable Women Seen Through Their Handwriting is a most enjoyable read especially for amateur graphologists. Though the field once was scorned by scientists as something akin to fortunetelling and palm reading, handwriting analysis has achieved a respectable profile in recent decades with hundreds of graphologists like Lowe in Southern California. |
