Rare late-career reflection from the suffragist, book-binder, and self-described spinster Mary Bulkley (1856-1947). The author here discusses the Civil War and and both World Wars, slavery, philosophy, and her own evolving spirituality. In the text she questions Gandhi's methods, decries Nazi ideology and symbolism, and concludes with a lengthy discussion of her spirituality with digressions on Lincoln, Henri Bergson, and theosophy, all interspersed with metaphorical flourishes on the journey of the caterpillar. Bulkley studied book-binding under Ellen Gates Starr in Chicago and was an active suffragist in the St. Louis area before retiring to Carmel, California where she passed away in 1947. We locate no copies in retail, auction records, or OCLC of this little booklet.
