Though many would not think of Theodore Dreiser as an advocate for 
women's rights, his first book, SISTER CARRIE, was enlightening in its 
portrayal of a young single woman's struggle to survive in a 
post-Victorian urban environment. His work shortly after as 
editor-in-chief of the magazine THE DELINEATOR provided further evidence 
for Dreiser's concern for women's struggle to survive in early 20th 
century American society. (#014680)        $75.00
