{"product_id":"fanny-bixby-spencer-marcia-lee-harris-9781540232823","title":"Fanny Bixby Spencer: Long Beach's Inspirational Firebrand","description":"The last daughter born to Jotham Bixby, the Father of Long Beach,\" Fanny Bixby Spencer (1879-1930) carved her own singular and eccentric path across California history. Born to wealth and power, she chose a boldly independent, egalitarian lifestyle in an age when women's lives were largely confined to domesticity. Fanny served with the Long Beach Police Department as America's first policewoman. She was a founder of the city of Costa Mesa in Orange County. Her humanitarian efforts reached across ethnicities and social standing. Yet beyond her civic accomplishments, Fanny was provocative as a poet, artist, pacifist, suffragist, child advocate, foster mother and humanitarian. Marcia Lee Harris captures this fascinating woman's remarkable life, enhanced by Fanny's own poetry and soulful reflections.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcia Lee Harris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540232824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540232823\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Marcia Lee Harris","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44138624876799,"sku":"9781540232823","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9886935e-21eb-44d5-9aaa-9534a93c05e5.jpg?v=1687900675","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fanny-bixby-spencer-marcia-lee-harris-9781540232823","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
