Not a suggestion, but an offer. A friend of mine, a writer, reviewer and UNCG alumna,
recently sent me a couple of books for possible addition to the library here at UNCG. They are
however too specialized for us, and I wondered if Duke might be interested in them.
One is “The years flew by” (Arlen House, 2000), a memoir of Sidney Gifford Czira, a woman
who was a journalist in Ireland writing under the pseudonym ‘John Brennan’.
The second is “Women in Parliament: Ireland, 1918-2000” (Wolfhound Press, 2000) and is a
biographical dictionary with a couple of “contextualizing” chapters.
Let me know, at your convenience, if these items would enhance the collections at Perkins.
If so, I will send them your way!
Take care,
