"The Lady of Godey's: Sarah Josepha Hale" by Ruth E. Finley, published by J.B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia & London, in 1931. This is the fifth printing of the classic biography, as indicated on the copyright page.

The volume measures approximately 9 inches in height and retains its original light green cloth boards with navy blue embossed decorative and titling elements to the front and spine. Inside, the book presents a color frontispiece along with additional illustrations, and includes an intact table of contents listing the various chapters delving into topics such as Hale's editorial philosophy, Victorian culture, publishing history, and her advocacy for women's education. The boards show mild soiling and general shelfwear, while the fore-edges and internal pages display age toning but remain firmly bound.
