GGertrude Stein began the creative work that was to earn her the reputation as one of the most original writers of this century with the three pieces in this volume.

Fernhurst, a fictional episode based on a Bryn Mawr scandal of the early 1900s, explores the labyrinth of love between man and woman and between woman and woman;

Q.E.D. fictionalizes an early Stein romance (doomed finally by a rival); and the third selection is an early draft of The Making of Americans, which records Stein’s struggle toward maturity as woman and artist.

Essential works of a significant twentieth-century literary voice.

Gertrude Stein (1874–1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised in Oakland, California, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life.

She hosted a Paris salon, where the leading figures of modernism in literature and art, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Ezra Pound, Sherwood Anderson and Henri Matisse, would meet.

Virago’s Lesbian Landmarks is a proud series that celebrates the history of Lesbian writing. Each title from previous centuries or decades, has its own claim.
