![Miss Anthony’s crusading motto on behalf of women’s rights, framed with a handsome image of this redoubtable reformer. Frame: 18-1/2 x 13"; photograph: 9-1/2 x 7-1/2"; autograph sentiment: 2-3/8 x 5", dark brown wood frame with silver beading along interior edge; pale gray and black double-matting set off the photograph and the autograph sentiment below. The portrait is a fresh printing of a photograph of Miss Anthony, seated in profile and wearing a black silk dress adorned with a froth of lace at the neck and wrists. The sentiment, inscribed in ink, reads: "Equal Rights for All — [underscored] / Susan B. Anthony / 17 Madison Street / July 20, 1900 Rochester - N.Y.". Some staining along the left edge and a touch of rumpling. About very good in an exemplary setting. At the age of eighty, Miss Anthony resigned from as President of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. NOTABLE AMERICAN WOMEN records: "As Miss Anthony grew older, the vilification of earlier years gave way to a popular respect that at times approached adulation. Newspapers now spoke of her wit, her friendliness, and the benign, grandmotherly qualities suggested by the aged face and white hair...The symbol of the woman's movement, she was the center of interest wherever she appeared, the one woman everyone wanted to see". Though no longer the head of NAWSA, she very much remained the spirit and soul of the movement until her death in 1906. Her constant refrain as she agitated for women's rights was "political equality", a refrain which she echoes here in this sentiment. NAW, Volume I, p. 56.](/wharton/images/items/120x300/13368.jpg "Miss Anthony’s crusading motto on behalf of women’s rights, framed with a handsome image of this redoubtable reformer.

![First trade edition. [First edition, second issue (trade), first printing]. Inscribed by Eudora Welty on the front free endpaper: "For Howard with Love from Eudora and with gratitude for your wonderful piece. New York, May 25, 1972". 8vo, 180pp; bone linen cloth stamped in gold front and spine; beige dust jacket lettered in black, brown and purple. Top edge stained brown. This novella received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. A masterly telling of a father's death. Miss Welty's exact ear for speech, her delicate sense of irony and her profound tolerance for the foolish as well as the wise among us render THE OPTIMIST'S DAUGHTER perhaps the most perfect of her fictions. Howard Moss (1922-1987) served as the poetry editor of THE NEW YORKER from 1948-1987. He published a number of books, among them: THE TOY FAIR (1954), A SWIMMER IN THE AIR (1957); A WINTER COME, A SUMMER GONE (1960), and SECOND NATURE (1968). He also wrote reviews for THE NEW YORK TIMES. In May, 1972 THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW featured Moss' warm, appreciative review of THE OPTIMIST'S DAUGHTER which he described as "The best book Eudora Welty has ever written...a long goodbye in a very short space not only to the dead but to the delusion and to sentiment as well". An exemplary association copy. Fine. Polk A19:1b. Note: "Eudora Welty's new novel about death and class". NYTBR 21 MAY 1972: 1, 18. University of Mississippi archives hold three complete issues of the review, including galley proof.

![First edition. First and only printing. Signed and dated at the front fee endpaper: "Charlotte Perkins Gilman / 1909 — Jan. 26th". 8vo, 390pp; brown gilt-stamped cloth. Tips and foot of spine lightly worn; additional mild wear along spine where it joins the front cover. Generally a firm, fresh and pleasing copy. Very good. Charlotte Perkins Stetson Gilman (1860-1935), a member of the illustrious Beecher family, is considered the leading intellectual of the woman’s movement. Her most important and influential book, WOMAN AND ECONOMICS (1898), an extremely successful book with nine printings between 1898 and 1920, with translations into several foreign languages, was to be succeeded by HUMAN WORK. She wrote and rewrote the text, but was not satisfied with the result. When she realized it would not be ready for publication on time, she started another book, CONCERNING CHILDREN. Returning to HUMAN WORK again (having completed yet another book entitled THE HOME: Its Work and Influence), the author explained the length of time necessary to write it by saying it "was not to be reeled off like my usual stuff". [Lane, A. J. THE LIFE AND WORK OF CHARLOTTE PERKINS GILMAN]. Gilman thought the book her best and most important title, although it did not sell well, to her great disappointment. She brings together many of the same major themes of her first three books in HUMAN WORK: the economic subordination of women; the belief of human changeability and progress; and the need to replace male power with female principles of nurture and cooperation. The main theme, however, was the value of work as an end in itself, as its own reward rather than what work would "get" for the worker, as well as a corresponding disavowal of consumerism. An important text, the culmination of the writer’s most critical and influential thinking. NAW II, pp. 39-42. Scharnhorst 1104.

![Two holograph letters signed "Stevie Smith" and "Stevie". (1) Two sheets: 7 x 5-1/4", pale gray stationery, written on three sides in blue ink. Folded once to fit an envelope. Very good. (2) Two sheets: 7 x 5-1/4"; pale gray stationery, written on all four sides. Folded once to fit an envelope. Very good. Also present is an envelope addressed in Smith's hand to James Turner with the ink notation at the reverse, "missing letter". To fellow poet and writer James Ernest Turner (1909-1975). The first letter is more reserved and from Smith's opening, apparently they had met only once: "Dear James, (If this not too beastly familiar - but I remember that party)". She is delighted he likes her poem, "Pretty", which, one infers, the TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT recently printed. "Oh what labour, oh Prince, what pain" to get anything out in the Times Lit... A thousand ages in their signed seems much what it is in God's only rather less". She encourages him to send her his poems and praises his SHROUDS OF GLORY, "that I must say I did like". The second letter, written early the following year, suggests the growth of warmth between the two writers; Smith closes the letter with "Love, Stevie". She thanks him for his poems [possibly THE INTERIOR DIAGRAM and Other Poems published in 1960] and, in turn, tells him she appreciates "the kind things you say about my two". He is recovering from a nasty injury to his heel and while off his feet he has been reading Smith's poems aloud to himself. "It's nice of you to have been reading these poems aloud, & funny too in a way, as I have been doing quite a lot of it (reading them) lately, & I wonder how a writer can mark, or punctuate, his poems so as to get the accent & emphasis & all of it, firmly fixed, & timed, — as you can with music". In a postscript she enthuses, "You are good at seeing things in your poems, an absolute march of magnificent visions ... the thought comes in pictures. I'm not much good about poetry, can't think why, it's odd somehow, as I never seem to stop writing it".
