The Modern World of Neith Boyce: Autobiography and Diaries"Neith Boyce's autobiography is a lost treasure of Americana, rescued from the archives and scrupulously edited by Carol DeBoer-Langworthy. Boyce's pictures of Los Angeles as a small town and New York as a small city at the turn of the century are vivid and priceless. And the account of her struggle to live as an independent professional woman is engrossing. She was a fine professional writer--one of a number of women writing in the early twentieth century whose work deserves recognition and reexamination. This collection of her autobiographical writings is an excellent first step." -- Bob Scholes, Research Professor of Modern Culture and Media, Brown University |
