In 1910, a remarkable correspondence began between a wealthy and distinguished Bostonian philanthropist, Fanny Quincy Howe, and Maimie Pinzer, a Jewish prostitute living in Philadelphia and recovering from a morphine addiction developed after the loss of an eye.The Maimie Papers is Maimie's side of that correspondence, offering an unprecedented and still unique account of the life of a woman of the streets and her inspiring transformation. An afterword by Ruth Rosen traces the elusive trail of Mamie's life following the end of her correspondence, from an elegant apartment in Chicago to a new life in the glamorous Southern California of the late 1920s.The Mamie Papers introduces an unforgettable woman with a powerful writer's voice, of whom theNew York Times Book Review says, "Mamie writes like a dream. . . . An astonishing book." Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

There are a lot of individual aspects of these letters that I could pull out and comment on, but I shall try to resist the temptation! However, writing my research essay on them should be fun. ( )
