Esotera

Just got it today. Jeannette was the sister in law of woman I'm still researching. Jeannette was a gay journalist and editor in NYC, living near her in-laws. Already read "The Autobiography of a Tom-Boy" and "The Tom-Boy at Work" which were non-fiction accounts of her life and some about her family. She was a drama critic which brought a lot of actresses into the Gilders' circle, since Jeannette was perpetually emotionally worked up by these women.

Me thinks she probably smiled and laughed more than this picture shows. The other two books were funny and entertaining. 

What is very cool is the publisher: http://www.kessinger.net/ Kessinger Publishing. They scan old books and set them up on print-on-demand so strange people like me can find things that can't be found. The first one I got was a autobiography of the British Consel in Samoa around the 1880s-1890s which had some good stuff in it for my Joe Strong book.

So dream on, ye obscure toilers,
