19253070Richmond VA 1925. One year diary bound by Fidelity and Deposit Company of Richmond. Comprised of 271 pages handwritten by Beatrice E. Smither a young woman working in a law firm five years after the 19th Amendment's passage. The majority of passages are written in longhand with scattered shorthand throughout. Beatrice's daily diary reveals an incredibly active life and gives a strong sense of the kind of independence that women of her generation were experiencing.<br/><br/>Employed in Richmond Virginia at the law firm of Williams and Mullen founded 1909 and still operating Beatrice Smithers is the embodiment of a flapper. Throughout the year of 1925 she reports daily on her work at the law firm where she frequently stays til 6:00 or later on meetings of her multiple church and civic clubs and on her romances with two men Cy and George who rival for her affection. She even reports on political events such as board local and presidential elections in which she participates. The diary is clearly a safe space for her where she can sort out ideas and emotions. <br/><br/>"Quite busy at work today" she reports on January 5 "Lunch at noon with Mae Burton - at night trying to work up some plan for Junior Council Meeting - Cy talks to me early - does not bring me home from work - John D. calls me up and wants me to attend a meeting of the Sunday Night Club." In entries like these we get a sense of the busy rhythm of Beatrice's days. In others we get a sense of her ability to manage and lead groups and how seriously she takes community engagement. "Leave office at 5:25 to ride up.to Public Library & look over same & I take out our membership card to get a book for my Sunday leading exercise -- Mae brings me home & I work for awhile on preparing to lead Sunday morning exercises" she reports on January 22. We also get regular glimpses into Beatrice's private life and her family. "Dear Diary" she writes on February 18 "As if we are not all worried enough to kill us with father's craziness drunk nearly all the day since he got back from Westbrook I had to turn my ankle while walking." The next day "Father home - who is again as usual drunk with liquor and not himself." The addiction issues in her family drive Beatrice to pursue financial independence -- and to think seriously about her choice of a mate as she debates between Cy "so dear and devilish" and George "so sweet and faithful"; she even despairs "I wonder if I am a traitor to my own self loving two men at the same time" and "I wish I could die!.Everything is a mess." There are even entries that cryptically suggest she had a pregnancy scare or was using the rhythm method to avoid it: "Menstruation begins" October 8 and "Menstruation ends" Oct 14 the only two such in the whole book. In the course of the year she ultimately breaks with Cy gets engaged to stable and supportive George and decides to continue working.<br/><br/>A densely packed manuscript with research potential including but not limited to women's employment history gender studies post-suffrage literature the history of reading the history of social and civic clubs in America the history of tourism paleography family addiction and mental illness and sexuality. unknown books

195323577New York: Newspaper Guild of New York. Very Good. 1953. "20th Anniversary". Hardcover. pictorial paper label on front cover; no dust jacket as issued shelfwear and bumping to bottom edges some fraying to cloth at top of spine a few tiny stains adjacent to spine on both front and rear covers B&W photographs cartoons ads etc. Commemorative yearbook issued to coincide with the "Page One Ball" an annual shindig at which the Big Apple's newspapermen and probably a few women gathered to make merry give themselves awards and generally congratulate one another for being well New York newspapermen at a time when NYC boasted no fewer than seven daily papers. Numerous reporters and columnists contributed short pieces many of a humorous nature and quite a few having to do with the vicissitudes of the journalistic racket and/or aspects of New York life. The cover illustration is by Fred L. Packer and among the cartoonists whose work appears in the book are Milton Caniff Irving Hoffman Bernard Seaman Chic Young and Virgil Partch VIP. And of course there are the ads: product ads for cigarettes airlines restaurants liquor hotels etc. and also numerous "tribute" ads mostly from showbiz figures "Best wishes from Sid Caesar" that sort of thing. This particular copy was personalized via the gold-embossment of his name at the lower corner of the front cover for film director Fred Zinnemann and laid in is a presentation letter to him from Ted Nelson Director of the Page One Ball; unfortunately whoever did the cover-embossing omitted the final "n" from Zinnemann's name. The high spirits documented in this publication unfortunately didn't quite survive all the way to the end of 1953: on November 28 six of the city's seven daily papers went on strike the photo engravers wanted a raise and better working conditions and for eleven whole days readers had only the Herald Tribute available to them for their regular news fix. NOTE that although the cover illustration references the "20th Anniversary" this would appear to be a reference to the Newspaper Guild of New York itself; I've found no evidence that this sort of commemorative "Page One" volume had been published prior to 1951. In any event an OCLC search turns up less than a handful of library holdings of this publication. . Newspaper Guild of New York hardcover books
