Although both women are today remembered primarily for their connections with others --Thompson as the wife of Sinclair Lewis, and Lane as the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the \"Little House\" books --each was remarkable in her own right. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Both women had a vital engagement with life that led them in fearless pursuit of experience. In 1939, Thompson appeared on the cover of\u003ci\u003e Time\u003c\/i\u003e, which judged her second only to Eleanor Roosevelt among influential women of the day. Typical of Lane were her travels through the mountains of Albania, the deserts of Syria, and Soviet Georgia in the 1920s and her visit as a journalist to Vietnam in 1965 at the age of seventy-eight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The correspondence of these two talented and articulate women reveals their personal concerns, social ideas, and political\/economic philosophies and how they changed over time. Their letters tell the story of the first generation of women to come of age during the twentieth century, as they tried to cope with problems that women still face today. Along with the letters themselves, Holtz has included annotations and footnotes that provide biographical information, as well as explaining personal and topical references. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Holtz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826222331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826222336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Missouri Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"William Holtz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992513315071,"sku":"9780826222336","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14d7c446-7dd0-4109-b6a9-03dbe7676cef.jpg?v=1683319351","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dorothy-thompson-and-rose-wilder-william-holtz-9780826222336","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
