In collaboration with Carnegie Mellon's On-Line Books Page,creators of the
Web page "A Celebration of Women Writers" have quite a treasure. You'll
get to read Louisa May Alcott's Hospital Sketches (1863), an account of
her experiences at the age of 30 as a Civil War nurse, tales that rival the
adventures of Little Women heroine Jo March. Check out Virginia Woolf's
Monday or Tuesday, Jane Addams' Twenty Years at Hull-House, Lucy Maud
Montgomery's memories of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, the
narratives of Sojourner Truth or the memoirs of Mary Robinson.
And then
there's The Semi-Attached Couple, (1860) by Emily Eden. The Semi
Attached Couple, just married, must deal with personal differences and
the meddling of friends and political associates. You also can help "build a
book" on line.
