Marie of the Cabin Club

"Marie of the Cabin Club" was originally published in the Baltimore Afro-American under the pseudonym Arnold Petri in 1939. Cigarette girl Marie comes to the aid of a musician one night, and she falls for him. But who is the woman he sits with every night, and who is the man watching their every move? ----- Throughout history, many female writers have used male pen names for their work to be published or taken seriously. In collaboration with the Women’s Prize for Fiction, we have put their real names on the front of their work for the first time to honour their achievements and give them the credit they deserve. The collection of books celebrate the Women’s Prize for Fiction’s 25th anniversary of championing female writers everywhere.
