Susan Lenox : Her Fall and Rise (Large print ed)

In this second volume covering the life of sensational Susan Lenox, we follow her continuing quest.

Having been married off at a young age to a coarse local farmer by small-thinking relatives, she takes refuge on a showboat with a theater company.

Her life becomes a progression of moves -- Cincinnati, New York City, Paris.

She goes from being a street prostitute to a kept woman to an independent woman and from impassive disgust to lust and love.

Susan Lenox: Her Fall and Rise is a frank portrayal of early twentieth-century America.

The world of Susan Lenox is described with a muckraking journalist's lethal precision, from the tenement bed she shares with two other women to how she adjusts her makeup when she is streetwalking.

The story makes for great human drama.
