Summary

In "The War-Workers & Consequences," E. M. Delafield delves into the multifaceted experiences of women during World War I, showcasing their resilience and adaptability in an era defined by turmoil. Through a blend of poignant narrative and sharp social commentary, Delafield employs a keenly observant literary style that juxtaposes the domestic sphere against the backdrop of war. Her exploration of gender roles and societal expectations highlights the transformative impact of conflict on the female experience, while rich characterizations and vivid settings anchor the reader in a turbulent historical context. E. M. Delafield, known for her keen insights into women's lives, drew on her own experiences as a nurse during the war and her broader experiences in a rapidly changing society to craft this compelling narrative.

This essential read not only enlightens readers about the historical significance of women's roles in wartime but also invites reflection on current social transformations. Delafield's adept storytelling and empathetic character portrayals resonate powerfully, making "The War-Workers & Consequences" a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of war, gender, and society.

    Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Ina Coolbrith, and Charles Stoddard are the four San Francisco Bohemian writers of the 1860s who set the course for American literature. This Mark Twain Valentine audiobook tells the story of their love triangle. 
Mark Twain made sure that his full true-life story would not be told for 100 years after his death, so this story has never been heard publicly before! 
Make a date with your sweetheart to listen​ in!  
Mark Twain became a credited author for the first time while in San Francisco, a hundred years before the Summer of Love, with the publication of The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Twain and the other San Francisco Bohemian writers were in their twenties at the time. The de Young brothers were in their teens when they started the San Francisco Chronicle with Mark Twain as a reporter! 
Bret Harte was the leader and mentor of San Francisco’s Bohemian writers, and Mark Twain competed with Bret for the attention of the enchanting poet Ina Coolbrith.​ This is the story of how that turned out​... details kept from the public for over 160 years. 
Ina held salons in her home on Russian Hill for her Bohemian friends and their patrons, which became the foundation for the Bohemian Club. Ina later became Oakland’s first librarian (where she mentored Jack London) and became the first poet laureate of any state. But the love triangle occurred during an earlier, more tumultuous time as the American Civil War was being brought to a close and San Francisco grew in sophistication. 
This two-hour audiobook is important California history told with the droll sarcasm unique to Mark Twain. It should not be missed!
