The first weekly periodical devoted to romance fiction and the biggest-selling pulp in the early days of the Great Depression, Love Story sparked a wave of imitators that dominated newsstands for more than twenty years. Disparaged as "love pulp," the magazine actually championed the "modern girl," bringing its heroines out of the shadows of Victorian poverty and into the 20th century. With Love Story's success, Bacon became a national spokesperson, declaring that the modern woman could have it all-in love, in marriage and in the business world. Yet Bacon herself struggled to achieve that ideal, especially in her own romantic life, built around a long-term affair with a married man. Drawing on exclusive access to her personal papers, this first-ever biography tells story behind the woman who influenced millions of others to pursue independence in their careers and in their relationships." -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Bacon, Daisy, $d 1898-1986. 630 00 $a Street & Smith's love story magazine. 650 0 $a Women editors $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women publishers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women authors $v Biography. 650 0 $a Romance fiction, American $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Romance fiction, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01002993 650 7 $a Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177198 650 7 $a Women editors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177602 650 7 $a Women publishers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178443 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191204011545.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD140C66166311EA9B100A4E97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
