Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Good +. Author's edition. Octavo, 439pp. Engraved title page. Ex-library, in the publisher's green cloth, but still clean and minimally handled. Apart from a few loose, but intact signatures in the middle of the text block and two worn, but still sharp corners, it's a solid copy, overall certainly good or better. Bremer was a Swedish writer and feminist reformer known as the "Swedish Jane Austen," and she spent significant time in the United States. This copy is SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Bremer on the front free endpaper: "To my good little Doctor, Harriet Hunt. Affectionately, Fredrika Bremer." Though misspelled, this is almost certainly Harriot Hunt, who was the first woman to apply to Harvard Medical School (she was denied). She became a self-taught doctor, and eventually earned an honorary MD from the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania. Basic internet sleuthing can't dig up a confirmed occasion that these two may have encountered each other, but both being feminists who spent time in the Northeast in the mid-19th century, I'm sure their politics brought them to the same event at least once or twice.
