Title: Three Lives Author: Gertrude Stein ISBN: 9780140181845 Publisher: Penguin Publishing Group Published: 1990 Binding: Paperback Language: English Condition Note: New from the publisher Publisher Description: Gertrude Stein, as a college student at Radcliffe and a medical student at Johns Hopkins Medical School, was a privileged woman, but she was surrounded by women who were trapped by poverty, class, and race into lives that offered little choice. Her portraits of Anna and Lena are examples of realistic depictions of immigrant women who had no occupational choice but to become domestic workers. This collection of documents from the history of women's suffrage, medical history, modernist art, and literature enables readers to see how radical Stein's subject was. Show more
