It is a book that I purchased because I know I'll return to it often. It's really interesting to see the lives of these early American women writers especially.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795619401977840939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-91557268396922374882009-05-07T20:41:00.000-04:002009-05-07T20:41:00.000-04:00Fleurfisher - My library didn't have a copy either...Fleurfisher - My library didn't have a copy either, but I managed to get this one through inter-library loan.

I do have books by Susan Glaspell and Tillie Olsen in my TBR though, so all is not lost!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-28185109333082675392009-05-07T15:46:00.000-04:002009-05-07T15:46:00.000-04:00Dawn,

We used to go to my grandparents "camp" on a lake in NH every summer, and I so connected with George Howe Colt's description of how everything in the house stayed the same year after year. Of course, their cottage was a huge rambling mansion near the Cape, but the sentiment was the same :)Dawn - She is Too Fond of Bookshttp://www.sheistoofondofbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-2362166128984205762009-05-07T11:36:00.000-04:002009-05-07T11:36:00.000-04:00I really have my eye on the Showalter book - I sho...I really have my eye on the Showalter book - I should really request it from the library - thanks for reminding me!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-77508791231708712292009-05-06T13:52:00.000-04:002009-05-06T13:52:00.000-04:00BookPsmith -

The next time I get a 30 or 40% off coupon from Borders or B&N in my e-mail, I'll probably buy Showalter's book. <br /><br />Linda -<br />Those tbr piles sure have a way of getting out of control, but I think A Jury of Her Peers would be a good addition!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-275323605135982092009-05-06T13:06:00.000-04:002009-05-06T13:06:00.000-04:00A Jury of Her Peers looks interesting.

I'll wait for your review to see what you think. I saw A Jury of Her Peers at Borders this weekend and came this close to buying it but wanted to be more sure before shelling out $30. Great loot...happy reading!Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387313238448432017noreply@blogger.com
