About the Editor
Miriam Forman-Brunell is Associate Professor of History at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. She is the author of Made to Play House: Girls and the Commercialization of American Girlhood, 1830-1930.
"Her life story, as recounted in an unfinished manuscript left to
relatives when she died, is full of wonderful comments showing her
zest for life and her unwillingness to settle into conventional
roles. . . . O'Neill has a deceptively simple style that is well
suited to conveying her feelings and observations without seeming
self-indulgent. The book is an interesting portrait of a woman
whose accomplishments would be remarkable today, let alone earlier
this century."--Publishers Weekly
"The publication of her autobiography for the first time gives full
voice to O'Neill's comments, insights, and self-exploration . . .
this edited volume is an important addition to reading, but also
rereading, O'Neill in the light of feminist and interdisciplinary
material culture criticism."--The Journal of American History
