Hardcover. 310 pp. with index. illustrated. "They were as sweet and pretty as their names would suggest, the pair of them as alike as two flower buds on a single stem. They were also joined, back to back, at the base of their spine.". Violet and Daisy Skinner were born on February 5, 1908. During a difficult delivery, the midwife assumed that she was seeing a pair of twins emerging; that was not untrue but their mother Kate began screaming when it turned out that the otherwise normal set of baby girls were conjoined at the base of the spine. Back them, such birth anomalies were considered, freaks and monsters. The horrified mother abandoned the babies to the care of the midwife who almost immediately put them on display in the back room of her pub. Thus began a course of blatant exploitation that would range from the Brighton seashore to Australian amusement parks, American sideshows and eventually to phenomenal success in vaudeville.

Binding is firm and sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Must children born with socially challenging anatomies have their bodies changed because others cannot be expected to change their minds? One of Us views conjoined twinning and other "abnormalities" from the point of view of people living with such anatomies, and considers these issues within the larger historical context of anatomical politics. Anatomy matters, Alice Domurat Dreger tells us, because the senses we possess, the muscles we control, and the resources we require to keep our bodies alive limit and guide what we experience in any given context. Her deeply thought-provoking and compassionate work exposes the breadth and depth of that context--the extent of the social frame upon which we construct the "normal." In doing so, the book calls into question assumptions about anatomy and normality, and transforms our understanding of how we are all intricately and inextricably joined.(Publisher).

Unbound. Condition: Very Good. Carde-de-visite. Image measures approximately 2¼" x 3½" on slightly larger card. Verso is printed "W. L. Germon's Temple of Art, 914 Arch Street, Philadelphia." Image is a bit light and modestly soiled, very good or better. Signed "Chrissie Millie" by the performers in pencil on the verso. A nice image of the conjoined twins Millie and Christine McKoy; one holds a guitar and another holds what we assume to be a piece of sheet music. The twins were born enslaved in North Carolina in 1851 to Monimia and Jacob McKay (original spelling). As infants they were sold along with their mother to a series of showmen and put on display. The twins appeared at Barnum's American Museum and toured Europe before returning to America where they lived with a former owner who taught them to read and write. Millie and Christine claimed their freedom with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and retired to a farm in North Carolina, touring occasionally as finances dictated, before they succumbed to tuberculosis in 1912. They were often photographed, and the photographs were frequently signed (as this one was), likely sold as souvenirs when they were appearing. The man who made this image, Washington Lafayette Germon, was a well-known Philadelphia photographer.
