"I know of no other writer who can play upon words so magically. Mary MacLane is one of the few who actually knows how to write English. She senses the infinite resilience, the drunken exuberance, the magnificent power & delicacy of the langauge."--H.L. Mencken. "Mary MacLane comes off the page quivering with life...She is before her time... Moving."--London TIMES Literary Supplement. "A pioneering feminist - a sensation."--FEMINIST BOOKSTORE NEWS review. She wrote her first book in 1901 at the age of nineteen -& was hailed as a marvel by the likes of H. L. Mencken, Edith Wharton, Hart Crane, & Hamlin Garland. She influenced D. H. Lawrence & Gertrude Stein & upon her death in 1929 was eulogized as "the first of the self-expressionists, the first of the Flappers", & as the sole creator of "that revolution in manners & in the female code of behavior" known as the Roaring Twenties. This quality-paperback anthology includes the full text of MacLane's first book (with all expurgated passages restored), seven of her colorful newspaper feature articles, a full-length 1902 interview, introduction, bibliography & notes.
