Amy and Katja kick off Season 1 of The Gibson Girl Review with a real duesy—Harriet Beecher Stowe's matrimonial comedy, Pink and White Tyranny (1871). This forgotten gem of a novel is packed with sarcasm and morality, and earns Stowe a prized seat at the hosts' Dream-Guest dinner table. Plus they explore the early childhood of artist Charles Dana Gibson, creator of the iconic Gibson Girl.
