Mis’ Beauty is a novel written by Helen Smith Woodruff and published in 1911. The story revolves around the life of a young woman named Beauty Stanton, who lives in a small town in the United States. Beauty is known for her striking beauty and charm, which attracts the attention of many men in the town. However, she is also known for her strong will and independent spirit, which often puts her at odds with the conservative values of the community.As the story progresses, Beauty finds herself torn between two men: the wealthy and influential lawyer, John Harkness, and the free-spirited artist, Roger Barnes. While John offers her security and stability, Roger represents the excitement and passion that Beauty craves. As she struggles to choose between the two, Beauty must also navigate the challenges of small-town life, including gossip, scandal, and social pressure.Throughout the novel, Woodruff explores themes of love, identity, and the societal expectations placed on women during the early 20th century. Mis’ Beauty is a poignant and insightful portrayal of a young woman’s journey towards self-discovery and independence in a world that often seeks to constrain and limit her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
