...Rachel Field '18 are three of the Radcliffe graduates whose works figure prominently in the collection. The wide variety of these books comprise the third section of the Archives. Murder mysteries like "Wedding Eve Murder" and "Blood From A Stone" stand near Pearl Schiff's "Scollay Square" and Dorothy Heyward's famous "Porgy." Down the stacks from Olive Higgins Prouty's "Stella Dallas" is Vera Dean's "United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration" written as Research Director of the Foreign Policy Association...
