Description
Summary:woman The difference between a girl and a woman is not one of age but of status. If a girl marries at sixteen she immediately becomes a woman, but a person who's never married is still a girl even though she might be ninety nine. I remember on one occasion a woman said to me, "Be you a girl or a woman?"

She said, "My dear, I wish I could say the same!" Yes J.D.A. WIDDOWSON AUG 1973 Not used Not used Withdrawn withdrawn but no stamp
