THE FLAPPER WERE HER DAUGHTERS
The Liberated, Literary World of Gertrude Atherton
by Elinor Richey
Folks, here is the story with pictures of “The Flappers Were Her Daughters, The Liberated, Literary World of Gertrude Atherton,” by Elinor Richey. Who was this woman? Why is she now revered? Well, you must read this untold story. Seldom found and rarely read, Gertrude Atherton was indeed, the mother of the Flappers she wrote about, “independent women who flouted Victorian mores, pursued the men they wanted, enjoyed sex in and out of marriage, and held give and take discourses with their brain mates. Her work was loved in Britain because her flinty heroines moved in an action packed locus awash with lechery, suicide, alcoholism, adultery, and an infinite variety of sudden catastrophes.” She was brash, unafraid, challenging, and, most of all, outspoken in the era of the Flappers when many others were silent. Here is her story – the true story of beginning and middle and ends with these closing words, “The time will come when the efforts of the most energetic and determined will be realized.” She predicted, “and it will be for them to hold the scales even – permanently even – to achieve a happiness that has eluded both men and women since the world began.”
Please read this. There were many a flapper story published – the common ones are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones like this one are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out cause really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.
Here’s one of ‘em.
Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Humbly, I am trying to retain our past and keep our history alive. Because Old Flapper History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.
This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.
I hope you appreciate the effort.

FLAPPER’S GERTRUDE ATHERTON
FLAPPER MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that.
My wife kids me that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the Ebay entry fee and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD FLAPPER HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete magazine printed on heavy slick paper many years ago. The issue is in excellent condition, the cover is pristine and in vibrant color.
As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
