Goldsmith, Barbara Johnson V. Johnson
Alfred A. Knopf Inc 1987 0394560434 / 9780394560434 First Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Very Good +
Near-fine condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages. Illustrated with photos. 289 pages - NO writing or tears inside book. - From The Critics Library Journal When J. Seward Johnson, heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune, died at 87 in 1983, his will left virtually everything to his third wife, Basia, 42 years his junior. Johnson's six children (by his first two wives) angrily instituted what would become the longest and most expensive will contest in U.S. history. Journalist Goldsmith sat through the entire trial and spent countless hours interviewing family members and attorneys. The first parts of the book trace the family's turbulent history; the last concerns the trial itself. What emerges is a larger-than-life saga of greed, corruption, and decadence that becomes almost overwhelming at times. There is sure to be a considerable audience for this book at public libraries. Jack Ray, Loyola/Notre Dame Lib., Baltimore

Goldsmith, Barbara Other Powers: The Age of Suffrage, Spiritualism, and the Scandalous Victoria Woodhull
Alfred A. Knopf Inc 1998 0394555368 / 9780394555362 First Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Near-Fine
Near-fine condition - Stated First Edition - NO price clippings - Small remainder dot on top. NO writing inside book. 533 pages - Illustrated - Annotation A New York Times notable book. Best of the Year in Nonfiction Boston Globe. Los Angeles Times Book Prize Fianlist. From the Publisher Barbara Goldsmith's portrait of suffragette Victoria Woodhull and her times was hailed by George Plimpton as "a beautifully written biography of a remarkable woman" and by Gloria Steinem as "more memorable than a dozen histories." A highly readable combination of history and biography, Other Powers interviews the stories of some of the most colorful social, political, and religious figures of America's Victorian era with the courageous and notorious life of Victoria Woodhull--psychic, suffragette, publisher, presidential candidate, and self-confessed practitioner of free love. It is set amid the battle for women's suffrage, the Spiritualist movement that swept across the nation in the age of Radical Reconstruction following the Civil War, and the bitter fight that pitted black men against white women in the struggle for the right to vote. Peter Gay found Other Powers "Irresistible...this is a biography guaranteed to keep the reader reading." And Gloria Steinem called it "A real-life novel of how one charismatic woman...turned women's suffrage, the church, New York City, and much of the country on its ear." Synopsis This book interweaves the stories of some of the most important social, political, and religious figures of 19th-century America with the courageous and notorious life of Victoria Woodhull -- spiritualist, suffragette, and the first woman to address a joint session of Congress.
