The first book by this veteran journalist and photographer who went on assignment from the New York Herald Tribune for whom she had been reporting since 1932 to investigate "the status of women in the Soviet Union." In the course of her travels she covered 6000 miles by plane and boat making observations and conducting "countless interviews with all classes and types from high government officials to Trotskyists and exiled kulaks." Ms. Gruber who lived to the grand old age of 105 she died in 2016 was deeply involved during and immediately after World War II with the fortunes of Jewish refugees in particular with a secret mission undertaken on behalf of the U.S. Government to bring 1000 refugees to the United States. Her 1983 book "Haven" about this episode served as the basis for a 2001 TV-movie starring Natasha Richardson as Gruber. She also wrote a number of books about Israel during the country's formative years. She was also the subject of a documentary AHEAD OF TIME released in 2010 and there have been several museum exhibits of her photojournalism.

1897113179New York: Harper & Brothers 1897. Octavo original pictorial tan cloth. First edition. A novelette and six short stories by a popular American author who did not find favor with subsequent critics. All have rustic settings though in various parts of the country thus disqualifying the book as regionalistic and dialect writing and most have a light tone but "The Unlived Life of Little Mary Ellen" is about a mad woman who carries a doll about with her believing it to be her baby until she finally comes to believe it has died. The story has some effective touches of weird atmosphere; it is "sad and touching. the most complete piece of work which has as yet come from Mrs. Stuart's pen." - Laurence Hutton in Harper's New Monthly Magazine Vol. 95 Issue 570 Literary Notes p. 2. Wright III 5306. Early gift inscription on front free endpaper a bright near fine copy. #113179 Harper & Brothers unknown books
