Bøger af Miki Pfeffer

As compelling as a novel, this audacious story of Grace King's northern ties unfolds in eloquent letters. They hint at the fictional themes that would end up in her own art; and they trace her development from literary novice to sophisticated businesswoman who leverages her own independence and success.

Chronicles the successes and setbacks of a lively cast of postbellum women in the first Woman's Department at a world's fair in the Deep South. From a wide range of primary documents, Miki Pfeffer recreates the sounds and sights of 1884 New Orleans after Civil War and Reconstruction. She focuses on how difficult unity was to achieve, even when diverse women professed a common goal.
