Description

In this episode, Amy and Kim discuss Dorothy Canfield Fisher’s The Home-Maker, one of the ten bestselling novels in the U.S. in 1924. Although not exactly a household name now, Canfield Fisher was right up there with Edith Wharton in her day. While The Home-Maker’s deep dive into child-rearing, women in the workplace, and gender roles was certainly eyebrow-raising at the time, Amy and Kim have plenty to say about the current relevance of these hot-button issues. Plus, they’ll take a look at Canfield Fisher’s very busy (and prolific!) life, and consider a lingering controversy regarding Canfield Fisher’s legacy. For episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.
