My Queen: A Weekly Journal for Young Women. Issue 1, Sept 1900

Lurana Sheldon (1862 - 1945)

This is the first issue of a wonderful weekly magazine aimed at young women. They each contain a novella following the adventures of Marion Marlowe, "Only a Farmer's Daughter" who went from "Farm to Fortune" and all written by the prolific :Lurana Sheldon using various pen names, usually Grace Shirley. The story is quite entertaining and well written. The chapters are short and easy to read and suited to those just getting their feet wet in LibriVox. Besides the main novella, each issue contains an Advice Column, where she responds to anguished letters from young ladies with a myriad of personal problems. She does not shy at shooting straight from the hip in her answers whether to moral, ethical, family or just social etiquette questions. An intersting insight into life in the 1900's and what was considered appropriate for girls and women. - Summary by phil chenevert
