New York: Macmillan Publishing Company. One Hundred Fourth Printing. Hardcover. [6],1037, [11] pages. Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell (November 8, 1900 – August 16, 1949) was an American novelist and journalist. Mitchell wrote only one novel, published during her lifetime, the American Civil War-era novel Gone with the Wind, for which she won the National Book Award for Most Distinguished Novel of 1936 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937. Long after her death, a collection of Mitchell's girlhood writings and a novella she wrote as a teenager, titled Lost Laysen, were published. A collection of newspaper articles written by Mitchell for The Atlanta Journal was republished in book form. In May 1926, after Mitchell had left her job at the Atlanta Journal and was recovering at home from her ankle injury, she wrote a society column for the Sunday Magazine, "Elizabeth Bennet's Gossip", which she continued to write until August. Meanwhile, her husband was growing weary of lugging armloads of books home from the library to keep his wife's mind occupied while she hobbled around the house; he emphatically suggested that she write her own book instead.

New York: Scribner's Sons, c1992. First Printing. Hardcover. 25 cm. viii, [2], 325, [1] pages. Illustrations. Sources. Index. Inscribed by the author. An insider's look at the two womens' political campaigns for the governorships of Texas and California. Derived from a Kirkus review: Weighted report on the 1990 Democratic campaigns of Ann Richards, who won the statehouse in Texas, and Dianne Feinstein, who lost it in California. Morris utilizes the two races to forge feminist lessons from the stories of two very different 58-year-old women in contests that broke records for cost. To the author, Ann Richards's ``triumph''--winning in the state ``that set the American standard for macho''--``was not only a tribute to her courage, shrewdness, tenacity, and luck, but a cultural phenomenon tantamount to revolution.'' In the author's view, Dianne Feinstein, who'd become San Francisco mayor when George Moscone was assassinated, won the nomination because "the television camera loved her.'' Throughout, Morris explores what campaign advisers thought and what newspapers covered. Feinstein lost a close race, in Morris's view, because she couldn't distinguish herself from Republican Pete Wilson. More
