Ms. Larsen is the winner of the 1987 Wallace Stegner Fellowship to Stanford University. Perviously she lived in Oxford, England where she was a prizewinner in the National Poetry Competition and read her poetry for BBC Radio 3. She also taught creative writing at Gettysburg College, PA. This novel is based on the true story of a woman named Mary Emission (or, as some think, Mary Samisen) who, in 1758, was actually taken by a Shawnee raiding party in south-central Pennsylvania, and forced from her home. In this reimagining of her life story, Mary gradually becomes integrated into her new Indian family and by her own choice does not return to white society. More

New York: Basic Books, Inc., 1988. First Edition. First Printing. 440, notes, bibliography, index People in both traditional monogamous and "open" marriages discuss frankly their senses of guilt and shame, their strivings for power and control, their compulsions to tell all, their impossible struggles to juggle marriage and infidelity, showing that adultery is not only a story of liberated sensuality and distraught families, but a poignant attempt to live out a tale of rebellion, conquest, and self-affirmation, a toxic compensation for frustrated lives.

Cabin John, Maryland: Diane Leatherman, 1998. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade Paperback. 166, [2] pages. Illustrated cover. Signed by the author, Diane Leatherman, on the title page Includes Prologue and 34 chapters. Born in Kansas City just as her parents were emerging from the Great Depression, Diane Leatherman learned early to dread the "crossing of Kansas" when the family traveled west each summer. There were few restaurants or gas stations with clean restrooms. Nothing in those days was air-conditioned. The state was flat, hot and endless. Life has gotten easier--for most of us. With all of the problems modernization makes, still each of us have more opportunity to fully develop ourselves, especially women. Ms. Leatherman began college at a small girls school in the middle of Missouri, which her grandmother had attended a half century before, and finished a degree almost 15 years later. She has been a park ranger, teacher, worked at an "eighteenth century" dirt-level farm and has served as Executive Director of Friends of the Library, Montgomery County, Maryland. She is a member Maryland Writers Association, National Writers Union, and Publications Marketing Association. Fictionalized memoir, mature women will recognize the bright little girl who grows up to see no recourse but marriage at the end of the 1950s. When the social revolution of the 1960s manages to reach her, she begins to be restless with her role and throws her life into a spiral that imperils her and her children, yet results in a more complete person.

Edinburgh, Scotland: NMS Publishing Limited [National Museums of Scotland], 2000. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. 96 pages. Illustrations. Index of People's Names. Index of Organizations and Associations. This is one of the Scot's Lives series. Leah Leonora Leneman (3 March 1944 – 26 December 1999) was a popular historian and cookery writer. She wrote about Scottish history including the struggle for women's suffrage. Her Ph.D. thesis became her first history book, Living in Atholl, based on the archives at Blair Atholl castle, which documented a society transitional between highland and lowland ways of life against the backdrop of the Jacobite rebellions. 17th and 18th century Presbyterian churches pried into their parishioners' sex lives and called them to account, while Scots lawyers argued over which relationships were marriages "by habit and repute" (entailing property rights and legitimate children) and which were fornication. Girls in Trouble and Sin in the City brought these aspects of social history and women's history in Scotland to a wide audience. Divorce, separation from cruelty, and re-marriage were available to Scots of modest means in an era when it was exceptional in England and Ireland Leneman wrote the first, on Elsie Inglis. This expanded into In the Service of Life a full-length account of Inglis' remarkable career during the Great War, raising a series of mobile battlefront hospitals staffed entirely by women, conducting advanced surgery and enduring adventures and privations across wartime Europe. Many of those volunteers were from a suffrage background or were politicized by their experience. The Leah Leneman Prize is awarded annually to writers in Scotland for an essay on women's or gender history. More
