"“Her life story, as recounted in an unfinished manuscript left to relatives when she died, is full of wonderful comments showing her zest for life and her unwillingness to settle into conventional roles. . . . O'Neill has a deceptively simple style that is well suited to conveying her feelings and observations without seeming self-indulgent. The book is an interesting portrait of a woman whose accomplishments would be remarkable today, let alone earlier this century.""—Publishers Weekly ""“The publication of her autobiography for the first time gives full voice to O’Neill’s comments, insights, and self-exploration . . . this edited volume is an important addition to reading, but also rereading, O’Neill in the light of feminist and interdisciplinary material culture criticism.""—The Journal of American History"
