<p>20th Century Queer Women of Means<br>by Cathy Pegau</p><p>&quot;Cathy Pegau, author of A Murderous Business: A Mystery, shares with The History Reader how some queer women of means in the United States were able to push boundaries more so than women in poor or middle, working-class families.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://www.thehistoryreader.com/historical-figures/20th-century-queer-women-of-means/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=20th-century-queer-women-of-means" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.thehistoryreader.com/historical-figures/20th-century-queer-women-of-means/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=20th-century-queer-women-of-means"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.thehistoryreader.com/histo</span><span class="invisible">rical-figures/20th-century-queer-women-of-means/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=20th-century-queer-women-of-means</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/lgbtqia/" rel="tag">#lgbtqia</a></p>

<p>给前两天说的花了一倍价钱淘旧书补充个说明，我应该属于花钱比较节俭的人，但购物欲一点也不低，上班几天就得通过消费抚慰一下，在抠搜与花钱之间最终找到淘二手书这条途径，也就是不管怎么说钱花在书上不冤。当然，钱花得越少就能存得越多，多年下来关注各种淘旧书的途径（跟关注股价指数似的），发现是 Thrift Shop 的价格最划算，本地的一间店里软皮 $0.50 一本，硬皮近年来升到了 $1.25 一本；邻镇的店里更便宜，软皮 $0.25 一本，硬皮 $0.50 一本，缺点是镇上人口不多，书源较少；而本地图书馆处理书的价钱最近调整为无论软硬皆为 $0.50 一本，但书更新得没有 Thrift Shop 的勤；而我前两天淘的书来源于 Goodwill，这家非营利公司好像统一了书的定价，软皮 $0.99 一本，硬皮 $1.99 一本，Amazon 上热销书还要更贵一些，$2.99 起跳，我如果不是特别喜欢就不会在 Goodwill 里买了。现在的淘书频率大概是一周一次，平均每周能淘个一到两本，所以一年也就是一百来本，加起来也贵不到哪里去，但购物欲就轻易地被满足了，就算买回来不读（喂！）也觉得是赚了。现在读书的频率大概一年也能到一百本，但问题是读的那一百本跟淘的这一百本不大重合，所以想读未读那个列表越来越长，今年是不是要往这个方向努力努力（到现在还在问这个问题估计就是没戏）？</p><p><a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/reading/" rel="tag">#reading</a></p>
