Excerpt from Abnormal Woman: A Sociologic and Scientific Study of Young Women, Including Letters of American and European Girls in Answer to Personal Adveertisements; With a Bibliography
The above personal, with slight variations, appeared in a number of the principal newspapers in the large cities of our country. It was in different papers at different times for a period of about three or four months.
Considering the use to which the personal column is generally put, the author did not think it wrong to make it serve as the means of sociological investigation.
A woman who answers a public advertisement cannot ex peot her correspondence with a total stranger to be of a very confidential nature. It has been the author's desire, however, not to reveal in any way the identity of any of his correspondents. All names of persons, therefore, and most names of places occurring in the letters have been omitted.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of letters from people who responded to an unusual newspaper personal ad seeking correspondents of high social and financial standing. The author, a prominent expert in sociology, sought to analyze abnormal women in society at large by studying their behavior and motivations through the lens of these personal letters. The women's responses vary widely, from those seeking financial gain to those yearning for companionship or intellectual stimulation, providing rich insights into the lives of women on the fringes of society. The letters reveal not only the personal struggles of these women but also the broader social and cultural norms of the time, offering a valuable glimpse into the lives of women in the late 19th century.
