Condition: Very good. - Autograph letter penned in black ink and filling both sides of an approximately 8 inch high by 5 inch wide sheet of cream-colored note paper. Signed "B. van Vorst". The right edge of the paper is roughed with a narrow strip out of its lower half. Folded once for mailing. Very good. van Vorst sends back the manuscript [not present] of her "Letters to Women in Love" [1906] to an editor who wants to cut it to fit the word count required for his journal: 'We have said nothing about price, but I know you pay well and I shall be glad to consider your proposition about the MS. once you have determined the amount of 'amputation' necessary."Bessie van Vorst, who wrote under her married name "Mrs. John van Vorst", collaborated with her first husband's sister Marie van Vorst. Her second book-length publication "The Woman Who Toils" [1903] was co-written with Marie and immediately brought them to public attention. To research this muckraking expose of the working conditions, values and aspirations of female wage earners, the two upper-middle-class women worked for several months in various mills and factories. Despite her sympathy for her fellow workers, Bessie van Vorst was no advocate of equal pay for men and women and indeed was a strident propagandist for the domestic duties of women as the wives and mothers of the nation. "Letters to Women in Love" counsels women on effective means of safeguarding the family hearth. The success of marriage, of the family as a viable unit and, ultimately, the future well-being of the nation, depend, according to van Vorst, on women's ability to ameliorate, compromise and cajole.…

First Edition. Octavo. . ix(xvii), (1-2) 304 pages. Illustrated. Originally published serially, President Theodore Roosevelt had read Chapter III and wrote Mrs. Van Vorst. (pages vii-ix), She had already been influenced by Mary E, Wilkins Freeman's work The Portion of Labor. Bessie and her sister-in-law, Marie, came from a prominent New York family and both became interested in the plight of women laborers. They decided to take on aliases and work in the factory jobs open to women. While a man might make a little more than a dollar a day, women were paid less. When Marie began looking for lodging in Pittsburgh in 1902, she found room and board for $3.50 a week but her salary for a six day weeks was $4.10 so she was left with 60 cents. She speaks of how difficult the labor was and how her hands were becoming rough and very painful. This work is one of the most important books on the condition of women in labor at the period before labor unions obtained some equality. There was a paperback reprint issued in 1973.A very nice near fine copy bound in blue cloth lettered in gilt, spine lettering gilt, endpapers are toned, internally clean, early previous owner's name.…
