Condición: Near Fine. Fifteen colored and two black-and-white half-tone illustrated plates by Maxwell Armfield. Ilustrador. First edition, first printing. Octavo. x, 255, [1]. 8.5" x 6.5" WHERE WOMEN CAN SPEAK Finding her place first as a professional playwright in London and going on to found the International Lyceum Club for Women Artists and Writers, Constance Armfield, originally Smedley, (1876-1941) was a working woman, and proud of it. She craved spaces where professional women could discuss art, literature, science and other facets of the mind as men were able to in gentlemen's clubs, so she created them. Her marriage to Maxwell Armfield, an unlikely union of the time due to his homosexuality and her physical disabilities leaving her wheelchair bound, proved to be a melding of artistic minds. Maxwell spent the rest of his career supplying playful illustrations for Constance's adult and children's literature. As the Woodcutter's practical daughter takes to the road, determined to see the world, Armfield captures her own feminist pursuits in her children's novel, Sylvia's Travels. Sylvia follows magical birds, has run-ins with queens, and makes unimaginable friends in this exceedingly neat and clean first edition. Lightly toned spine with slight rubbing to corners, still near fine. Publisher's full light purple cloth, illustratively stamped in gilt, black, and blue, teg, illustrated endpapers.
