The Inscrutable Woman: An Autobiography 1896-1910 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Inscrutable Woman: An Autobiography 1896-1910

Very rare, indeed, have been the occasions on which I have spoken to anyone during the last three years. This sounds like fiction, nevertheless, it is not. No fortune has been taken here, a hero there, and tied together to tickle the fancy of the reader or thrill him with shocks of tragedy. Every part of it is true. Every care has been taken neither to add to, nor subtract from, what has actually happened.

The almighty dollar, in the hand of an ignorant, immoral and unscrupulous woman, is liable to work shocking deeds. Such a woman I had the misfortune to meet about six years ago. Since my sister's advent to this country - June, 1909 - I have begun to doubt if there are any truthful women in the world at all. I found the latter to be as unscrupulous in telling the truth as any other woman.
