WOMAN ROGUE INSPIRES FICTION
Additions to New Book Room
Among the books to go into the New
Book Room this week are several of
fairly recent publication and great: inter-.
est. The Mary Carleton Narratives, col-
lected by Bernbaum, are stories and
groups of facts concerning the life of the
first “woman rogue” in English fiction.
The famous Mary Carleton was a woman
of extraordinary personality, who lived
from about 1635 to 1673. She spent her
life in a series of petty crimes and was
finally hanged for theft. This collection
of narratives contains facts and stories
taken from the numerous biographies
written by herself and others. She is in-
teresting as a literary imposter and
woman. thief, and is important for the
contribution which the numerous stories
about her have made to the fiction of her
day.
Feminism in Germany and Scandinavia
is an attempt to bring the woman move-
ment of those countries into closer touch
with that of our own English-speaking
nations. This book shows the woman of
Germany and Scandinavia in her relation
with education, schools, economic condi-
tions, her dress reforms and her phil-
osophy.
In connection with Social Hconomy
is Louise de Koven Bowen’s Safeguards
for City Youth at Work and at Play.

Jane Addams, in the preface, says that
the aim of the work is to show the care- }
less and sordid conditions after which
so many young people are now living in |
the great cities, and the attempt of a}
small group of citizens in the city of Chi- |
cago to better them. While this book
tells specifically of the conditions in Chi-
cago, it is typical of any of our great
cities.
