To Try Her Fortune in London: Australian Women Colonialism Modernity SIGNED book

Description: To Try Her Fortune in London: Australian Women, Colonialism, and Modernityby Angela Woollacott Oxford University Press (2001) Between 1870 and 1940, tens of thousands of Australian women were drawn to London, their imperial metropolis and the center of the publishing, art, musical, theatrical, and educational worlds. Even more Australian women than men made the pilgrimage "home," seeking opportunities beyond those available to them in the Australian colonies or dominion. In tracing the experiences of these women, this volume reveals hitherto unexamined connections between whiteness, colonial status, gender, and modernity. AUTOGRAPHED COPY! Hardcover has light edge marks, corners bumped, some cover marks, signed dated and inscribed to a coworker on front flyleaf, otherwise clean bright pages and nice tight binding, a good association copy of this very scarce Oxford title. Book shipped securely and insured. Welcome! I'm Mary aka Maryesterday, a gal who has lived as a vintage "time traveler" for over 20 years. The past? I'm there! In order to fuel my passion for all things vintage, forgotten, antique, and mid-century modern, I've turned this into my full time business -- I support myself by sharing great finds and lost treasures I unearth in my real-life retro adventures. I'm here on eBay to share them with you. I try to price everything fairly, and if you're on the fence about an item, please don't hesitate to make an offer! Visit my store for collectibles, lost ephemera, cool clothing, and interesting retro reads. I have a lot of books, because there's no better way to time travel than in the pages of a good old book. Try it once, and you'll be hooked for life! I hope you enjoy the time you spend with me here -- and have a nice yesterday!
