The uncredited dust jacket illustrator created a dynamic vignette of a flapper-esque woman in an arms-akimbo ecstatic pose, said spires rising behind her. The novel concerns a kept woman; the sociological indictment evident in the title is a narrative theme. Dust jacket is now housed in a removable, clear archival sleeve.

Price: $50.00
