Fiction
Mary MacLane’s I Await the Devil’s
Coming is a shocking, brave and intellectually
challenging diary of a 19-year-old girl living in Butte,
Montana in 1902. Written in potent, raw prose that propelled
the author to celebrity upon publication, the book has
become almost completely forgotten.
In the early 20th
century, MacLane’s name was synonymous with sexuality; she
is widely hailed as being one of the earliest American
feminist authors, and critics at the time praised her work
for its daringly open and confessional style. In its first
month of publication, the book sold 100,000 copies — a
remarkable number for a debut author, and one that
illustrates MacLane’s broad appeal.
Now, with a new
foreward written by critic Jessa Crispin, I Await
The Devil’s Coming stands poised to renew its
reputation as one of America’s earliest and most powerful
accounts of feminist thought and creativity.
