“Lively and enchanting. . . . Her tales [are] dishy, witty and a ton of fun. . . . It’s unclear what Altemus intended for this manuscript, which she wrote in 1932, but never released. What is clear is that, thanks to the efforts of her descendants, Hoffman, and Bachin, we are lucky now to have this remarkable—and remarkably written—document of everyday life and work in 20th century America from a perspective that is all too rarely seen.”—The Chicago Tribune
