The Woods Were Full of Men
NY, David McKay, (1963). The author took a job as a cook in an Oregon logging camp and produced this "tantalizing true tale from the tall timber with one heroine vs. sixty heroes." Inscribed by Emmerson: "For Susan -- to me she will always be a glamorous redhead in a white satin blouse and a slim white skirt, with a laugh like the music of the river we both loved as girls together. Love, Irma Lee Emmerson." Recipient's penciled initials ("S.E.H.") on front pastedown. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with several small edge tears. A pre-Women's Movement tale of a woman in a man's world, both challenging and confirming traditional gender boundaries (spoiler alert: she gets a husband). [#033381] SOLD
