Delmar, Viña. Kept Woman. First Edition. 1929. Book is in very good minus condition; dust jacket is in good plus condition—jacket shows a chip to the upper spine, minor tears, and fraying.

The initial lady writer to scandalize America was Elinor Glyn whose characters famously made love on a tiger skin. Viña Delmar followed a generation later with libertine books such as Bad Girl, Loose Ladies, and this novel. She also adapted her book The Awful Truth for Hollywood and was rewarded with an Academy Award nomination. In this scintillating story, the lead character is a “gin-buying, car-owning lady of leisure” who “buys perfume at a dollar an ounce.”
