Seller: Cleveland Book Company, ABAA, Rocky River, OH, U.S.A.
Reprint. Octavo, 315pp. Very good in the publisher's textured cloth wraps. Wraps curled, with mild edgewear. A stamp describing the rules of a lending library appears on the first text page; the rest of the book is clean and unmarked. A scarce reprint of an already scarce title. A synopsis printed on the title page reads as follows: "This is the story of a thoroughly modern girl. The weakness of her first husband creates in her an unrest and a desire for achievement which will not be denied. She launches into a successful business career but finds her life unfulfilled. A new restlessness creeps in-she can not live without love. This time she meets a man as capable and strong as herself. A terrific struggle ensues between love and pride of business achievement. This book is a daring illustration of the problem that confronts so many modern girls." Per an IMDB profile, Hawthorne Hurst was a male writer, whose novel "Goldie Gets Along" was adapted into a 1933 film. Hurst wrote a few other novels, including "Christopher Comes Across," which depicts Columbus as a swashbuckling Don Juan. Hurst died in 1934, two years after "Career Woman" was first published, and the same year of this reprint. This title is considearbly scarcer than the others; OCLC records just three physical holdings of the 1932 edition of "Career Woman," and none of this near-contemporary reprint. As such, a scarce novel of women in the workplace, worthy of preservation and re-appraisal.
