About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 57 full-page plates by Robert Seldon Duncanson, George Inness and Albert Bierstadt. Stories about the kingdoms people build for themselves: an office, a marriage, a convent, a newspaper. Jordan reported the Lizzie Borden trial as a young newspaperwoman, edited Harper's Bazar for years, and as a reader at Harper & Brothers accepted a manuscript by an unknown named Sinclair Lewis. Her working women were drawn from the ones she employed and was. Fifty-seven plates by painters including Everett Shinn and John Sloan show the New York squares and parks where Jordan's private worlds took shape.
