Chicago: Alice B. Stockham & Co, (1900). Hardcover first edition - An unusual double book. The first part includes an account of Stockham's trip to Russia and her visit to Tolstoi, as well as an introduction to his pacifist philosophy. Stockham had sent a copy of her 1883 work Tokology to one of Tolstoi's daughters, and he arranged to have it translated into Russian. A graduate of the Eclectic Medical College of Cincinnati in 1854, Stockholm was the fifth woman to be accredited as a medical doctor in the United States, an advocate for women's rights and especially for their reproductive and sexual health, as well as a publisher of many works for women; a vegetarian, an advocate of dress reform, and a believer in spiritual healing and New Thought. In 1905, when she was 72 years old, she was arrested on obscenity charges by Anthony Comstock, convicted and fined under the Comstock Act, her books were banned, and her publishing house forced to close. In addition to Stockham's article on Tolstoi, pages 85-140 contain an essay "Tolstoi: The New Spirit" by Havelock Ellis with a separate title page and color frontispiece of Tolstoi plowing. This is the first American printing of the title essay from his early book originally published in London in 1890. In addition to the frontispiece of each work, there are two internal black and white plates - one of the Countess Tolstoi and the other of Tolstoi in his study. 140 pp.
