Seller's Description:
Fine in fine jacket. Fine, fresh, unread as-new copy inequally fine dust jacket. INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR on the front free endpaper, "6/23 342 pp. with bibliography, index. Illustrated with photographs. ___/ I hope this book finds a special place on your book shelf/ A Rimer". First printing (no statement or note of additional printings which is correct). Hardcover. The first and only biography of Mina Miller Edison (1865-1947), the wife of Thomas Edison and the woman who created and shaped the myth around one of the most seminal figures in American history. Following the death of his first wife, Thomas went in search of a mother for his children and chose a 20-year old socialite from Ohio who was 19 years his junior. Over the years, Edison was so absorbed in his work that both his wife and his children were neglected as he usually only interacted with them at dinnertime. Mina was actively involved in community work, urban reform, and environmental activism both in the family's residence town of West Orange, New Jersey as well as in Fort Myers, Florida where the family usually wintered. Biographer Alexandra Rimer drew from unprecedented access to Edison family diaries, memoirs, and letters to look below the surface of the family during the Gilded Age from the little-known perspective of thuis female protagonist.
