"A remarkable and brave novel. I was astonished at the acute
angle of vision and the fullness of sympathy toward both men and
women--and children."--Carol Shields
An ahead-of-its-time novel about an unhappy and obsessively
house-proud mother of three whose husband is disabled, leaving her
free to work in a department store and him to be a Montessori
father. One of the ten best-selling novels of 1924 and made into a
(silent) film, it was singled out by Elaine Showalter in her recent
book on American women writers and was included in the collection
Five Hundred Great Books by Women.
Dorothy Canfield Fisher (1879-1958) was one of America's
best-known novelists. The Home-Maker has been a bestseller for
Persephone Books in the United Kingdom, and with this edition it
will be widely available in the United States.
Carol Shields has called this 'a remarkable and brave 1924 novel
about being a house husband.' Preface by Karen Knox.
Understood Betsy is a 1916 novel for children by Dorothy Canfield
Fisher. The story tells of Elizabeth Ann, a 9-year-old orphan who
goes from a sheltered existence with her father's aunt Harriet and
cousin Frances in the city, to living on a Vermont farm with her
mother's family, the Putneys, whose child-rearing practices had
always seemed suspect to Harriet and her daughter. In her new rural
life, Elizabeth Ann comes to be nicknamed "Betsy," and to find that
many activities that Frances had always thought too demanding for a
little girl are considered, by the Putney family, routine
activities for a child: walking to school alone, cooking, and
having household duties to perform... (wikipedia.org)
