My original tumblr post was here. Original text:
Today we are featuring Ladies in Hades by Arnold Kummer, an early 20th century playwright and novelist. Ladies takes place in Hell, where several infamous women from history and legend have formed their own exclusive club. Hijinks ensue as women such as Lucretia Borgia, Helen of Troy and Eve booze, smoke, and wrangle their way in and out of love plots. Complete with cheeky illustrations, this book is campy even by Hevelin Collection standards!
