Left as an infant on the doorstep of a grand English estate, Fanny is raised to young womanhood by Lord and Lady Bellars. A beautiful woman with a taste for literature, Fanny is ambitious to become the epic poet of her age - but her plans are dashed after she is ravished by her libertine adoptive father. Fleeing to London, Fanny meets up with idealistic witches and a band of highwaymen who teach her of worlds she never knew existed. She embarks on a series of adventures that take her from a London brothel that caters to the literati, to a pirate ship on the high seas and beyond, teaching her what she must know to live and prosper as a woman. Erica Jong (née Mann; born March 26, 1942) is an American novelist, satirist, and poet, known particularly for her 1973 novel Fear of Flying. The book became famously controversial for its attitudes towards female sexuality and figured prominently in the development of second-wave feminism. A 1963 graduate of Barnard College with additionally an MA (1965) in 18th century English Literature from Columbia University, Jong is best known for her first novel, Fear of Flying (1973), which created a sensation with its frank treatment of a woman's sexual desires. The book tries to answer the many conflicts arising for women in late 1960s and early 1970s America, of womanhood, femininity, love, one's quest for freedom and purpose. More

Inscription reads 11/27/00 Diana--It was a delight meeting + working with you! Love, Ellen. Author's business cards (2) laid in. DJ has minor wear, soiling, and edge chips. Dr. Ellen R. Klein received her Ph.D. from the University of Miami and is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Flagler College in St. Augustine Florida. She is an NEH and Fulbright recipient who writes on, and speaks about, a broad area of philosophical issues including business ethics, pedagogy, academic freedom, and global norms. Willard Van Orman Quine (June 25, 1908 – December 25, 2000) was an American philosopher and logician in the analytic tradition, recognized as "one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century". He served as the Edgar Pierce Chair of Philosophy at Harvard University from 1956 to 1978. His major writings include the papers "On What There Is" (1948), which elucidated Bertrand Russell's theory of descriptions and contains Quine's famous dictum of ontological commitment, "To be is to be the value of a variable", and "Two Dogmas of Empiricism" (1951), which attacked the traditional analytic-synthetic distinction and reductionism, undermining the then-popular logical positivism, advocating instead a form of semantic holism. Quine took aim at traditional normative epistemology. According to Quine, traditional epistemology tried to justify the sciences, but this effort failed, and so we should replace traditional epistemology with an empirical study of what sensory inputs produce what theoretical outputs.

Syracuse, NY: Syracuse University Press, 1999. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xxviii,[2], 300 pages. Illustrations. Abbreviations. References. Index. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads To Barbara, Great to see you again. Carol Kolmerten. This is one of the Writing American Women series. Ernestine L. Rose was one of the most important, but also one of the least-known, women's rights activists in nineteenth-century America. In the first comprehensive biography of Rose, Carol A. Kolmerten has recovered the most eloquent and persuasive speeches and letters of the movement itself. Rose's disappearance from history is telling. Scorned by newspaper editors, ministers, and politicians, she was also ignored by many of the very women and men with whom she shared reform platforms. In a movement that drew much of its moral and intellectual energy from appeals to sentimental Christian piety, Rose's atheism, her Jewish and Polish background, her foreign accent, and her blunt appeal to reason all made her a kind of barometer for the era's reformers, registering their anti-Semitism, their anti-immigrationist sentiments, their unconscious racism.
