@hannah The title page is pretty good, but I like that author photo on the facing page.

@hannah look, ida, this is really not the sort of organization that requires a vice president, but if having the title will get you to drop it, fine

@hannah

I was intrigued enough to order the book, based on the title page. There's a new paperback edition out, though it was originally published in 1940. She seems like an interesting person.
