We have the stars!The film Now, Voyager concludes with these famous words, which reaffirmed Bette Daviss own stardom and changed the way Americans smoked cigarettes. But few fans of this rich story know its source. Olive Higgins Proutys 1941 novel provides a rich, complex portrait of the inner life of its protagonist and the society she inhabits. Over half a century later, it still offers fresh and quietly radical takes on psychiatric treatment, traditional family life, female desire, and womens agency.Boston blueblood Charlotte Vale has led an unhappy, sheltered life. Dowdy, repressed, and pushing forty, Charlotte finds salvation in the unlikely form of a nervous breakdown, placing her at a sanitarium, where she undergoes treatment to rebuild her ravaged self-esteem and uncover her true intelligence and charm.Femmes Fatales restores to print the best of womens writing in the classic pulp genres of the mid-20th century. From mystery to hard-boiled noir to taboo lesbian romance, these rediscovered queens of pulp offer subversive perspectives on a turbulent era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51326024614176,"sku":"NEW1558614761","price":19.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71aa1VH0aoL.jpg?v=1773160180","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/now-voyager-femmes-fatales-1558614761","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
