Tauchnitz edition of this comedy-drama novel from the Collection of British and American Authors Vol. 3880; from the library of writer and social reformer Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Small duodecimo, original publisher's wrappers. Signed by Gilman on the front panel. Gilman was an American humanist, novelist, writer, lecturer, advocate, and eugenicist who served as a role model for future generations of utopian feminists. Best known for her semi-autobiographical short story 'The Yellow Wallpaper,' which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis, Gilman has written works on gender and male domination that continue to maintain their relevance in today's society. In very good condition.
Elizabeth von Arnim, born Mary Annette Beauchamp, was an English novelist who launched her career as a writer with her satirical and semi-autobiographical 'Elizabeth and Her German Garden.' Published anonymously, it chronicled the protagonist Elizabeth's struggles to create a garden on the family estate and her attempts to integrate into German aristocratic Junker society. In between other semi-autobiographical books, von Armin produced novels that dealt with protest against domineering Junkertum and witty observations of life in provincial Germany, including 'The Princess Priscilla's Fortnight' and 'Fräulein Schmidt and Mr Anstruther.'
