Softcover. Condición: Very Good. First edition. Cover art by Barbelle. Folio. One sheet folded to make four pages. Music shop stamp on the front cover, toning, light edgewear, a small smattering of purple ink on the back cover, and a small dampstain to the top of the spine, very good. For voice and piano. A song about women entering the workforce during World War I with lines such as, "It's all on account of the war / Your job ain't safe anymore" and "Say, don't be surprised if we have lady 'Cops' in time / And if we do, the men will all commit some crime / And when the cops get'em / They'll love'em and pet'em / You'd better be nice to them now." While some other lines might feign positivity about women's ability to "make good at everything they try," it's truly a song that could have only come from such a time and place as America in 1918. A fascinating, albeit at times unsettling piece of music and women's history.
