THE "IT" LADY Would you like to sin With Elinor Glyn On a tiger skin? Or would you prefer To err with her On some other fur? Mrs. Carruthers is dead. The cranky, traditional lady had intended her beautiful, vivacious ward, Evangeline to marry her heir, Christopher Carruthers, handsome diplomat. But independent twenty-year-old Evangeline is not so sure . . . It's the turn of a new century, after all . . . And wouldn't it be so much more fun to be an "adventuress?" In her novel, Red Hair -- later a scandalous silent movie -- Elinor Glyn produced a particularly "shocking" novel of a sexually independent girl of a new era. Elinor Glyn became a best-selling novelist with books like Red Hair. In the nineteen twenties went to Hollywood to write and direct films. She transformed Gloria Swanson into a star, made Clara Bow the "It" girl and taught Rudoph Valentino how to kiss. In Stage Magazine, Moira Petty described Elinor Glyn as "the chick-lit author of the early 1900s, with a dash of Dorothy Parker and a dollop of Barbara Cartland." Love hot fiction? Red Hair is a must read.

Elinor Glyn, born Elinor Sutherland, was an English novelist and scriptwriter who pioneered mass-market women's erotic fiction. She coined the use of the word 'It' as a euphemism for sex appeal. Elinor was schooled by her grandmother (a minor French aristocrat) in the ways of upper-class society. This training led her to be considered an authority on style and breeding when she worked in Hollywood in the 1920s. She was the celebrated author of such early 20th century bestsellers as It, Three Weeks, Beyond the Rocks, and other novels which were then considered quite racy. (By the standards of this moment, of course, they're fairly tame stuff -- what's visible now is more Glyn's talent than it is the things she was once known for.) She was also a scriptwriter for early films, and had a brief career as a film director. In Elizabeth Visits America, the heroine quarrels with her husband, who departs for Africa to shoot big game. Elizabeth travels to America with friends, visiting New York, Long Island, Philadelphia, and Chicago, then sets out in a private car to the coast and back. Like the author's earlier The Visits of Elizabeth, the book is told as a series of letters to her mother, describing American people and things.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
