The Woman's Magazine Saint Louis (Spring Issue 1910)

Descripción

First edition softcover magazine, staple-bound, is in Fair condition, having the spine repaired years ago by former owner with celluloid tape; front and back covers show some chipping and tears to edges; because of the way it has been re-paired, the pages don't fit together in a uniform way, but there is a slight slant--all pages present; on pages 37-38 there is a missing top corner (probably an ad was torn out); former owner has written her name in ink on front cover and on top of page 3. A collection of fiction and non-fiction, typical of magazines of the day, tailored to a woman's point of view. Cover art by Grace G. Wiederseim. Interior illustrations by Wiederseim, Robert Graef, Peter Newell, H. E. Steinbruegge, and others. Fiction by Jack London, Jesse Lynch Williams, and others. Non-fiction includes "What Women Are Doing," "Spring Parasol Novelties," and "Spring Style in Gowns" (for complete contents, see our photo section). There is one warning about the issue: because this is a product of 1910, there is a story, "The Child at the Door" by Ruth McEnery Stuart, that is racist and offensive. The "N" word is featured prominently in a caption to an illustration, and the illustration itself is highly caricatured. Even though today's readers would find this offensive, we present this magazine as an historical artifact of its time. Social science. Women's studies. Art. Fashion. Fiction. Language arts: journalism. DB. N° de ref. del artículo 1428
