Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott 1938. First Edition. Paperback.

She attempts to manipulate the stock market in an attempt to ruin the man who shot her father; having succeeded and added substantially to her wealth she desires to satisfy her maternal urge through the means of artificial insemination noting "the individual doesn't count. It's on the race that's important. I'm willing to pay the man well if I can be sure he's American-born of Anglo-Saxon origin. And of course physically and mentally sound" pp.233-234. An early fictional treatment of a controversial topic; the first reports on human artificial insemination originated from Guttmacher 1943 Stoughton 1948 and Kohlberg 1953 cf.

New York:: Doubleday 2004. 0385502427. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. In BOBBED HAIR AND BATHTUB GIN Marion Meade presents a portrait of four extraordinary writers--Dorothy Parker Zelda Fitzgerald Edna St. Vincent Millay and Edna Ferber--whose loves lives and literary endeavors embodied the spirit of the 1920s. Capturing the jazz rhythms and desperate gaiety that defined the era Meade gives us Parker Fitzgerald Millay and Ferber traces the intersections of their lives and describes the men F. Scott Fitzgerald Edmund Wilson Harold Ross and Robert Benchley who influenced them loved them and sometimes betrayed them. Here are the social and literary triumphs Parker's Round Table witticisms appeared almost daily in the newspapers and Ferber and Millay won Pulitzer Prizes and inevitably the penances each paid: crumbled love affairs abortions depression lost beauty nervous breakdowns and finally overdoses and even madness. These literary heroines did what they wanted said what they thought living wholly in the moment. They kicked open the door for twentieth-century women writers and set a new model for every woman trying to juggle the serious issues of economic independence political power and sexual freedom. Meade recreates the excitement romance and promise of the 1920s a decade celebrated for cultural innovation--the birth of jazz the beginning of modernism--and social and sexual liberation bringing to light as well the anxiety and despair that lurked beneath the nonstop partying and outrageous behavior. .

Philadelphia: Thomas T. Ash 1831. First edition. Near Fine. Quarter calf over pictorial boards. All edges gilt. Small bump to lower front corner. Yellow endpapers. xvi 17-222: complete including 7 leaves of plates by F. Kearney J.B. Neagle and H.W. Steel. Internally a pleasing copy with only a bit of light scattered foxing and some offsetting from the plates. Featuring several American women poets including Lydia Sigourney the present was designed as a gift book to be exchanged by women at Christmas and New Year's. The design and content of The Pearl speaks to important shifts happening in the Victorian world as women became a key market for authors and publishers. Mass-circulating magazines in the U.S. -- notably Ladies' Home Journal McCall's Delineator Woman's Home Companion and Good Housekeeping -- encouraged women to purchase and read material designed to meet their own interests and lives Peiss. The book trade also began taking women's interests into account. Though the popularity of novels caused concern for some parents who suspected that their impressionable daughters might be led into unsavory romances or other adventures the reading and exchange of poetry remained a suitable and elegant outlet for young women. The present work clearly targets this market. Beautifully bound in holiday colors it contains lovely illustrations of women and little girls. The poetry itself written by popular American poets like Lydia Sigourney Anna Maria Wells and Eliza Leslie emphasizes women's own experiences: Child Left on the Seashore The Step-Mother To a Young Child and The Little Runaway appeal to maternal sentiments for example. The Little Girl and Her Kitten The Pet Lamb and The Clean Face meanwhile call upon women readers' childhoods to invoke nostalgia. In all a lovely gift book that points to women's increasing power in shaping books of the time. Near Fine. Thomas T. Ash unknown
