Sometime early this century, the New Yorker ran an article about their reissue by Chicago Review Press and the women in my family all read them.

I think she would definitely modernize her heroines a bit.

First edition copy of this book with a fabulous cover - sitting in a book of cast-offs for only $2 each.
