Too Good to Get Married: The Life and Photographs of Miss Alice Austen<\/a>, is the forthcoming book on the life of Alice Austen (1866-1952). The book is co-authored by Bonnie Yochelson and Historic Richmond Town. <\/p>\n

This book describes how a woman who grew up in the Gilded Age, when the term \u201clesbian\u201d did not yet exist, challenged and conformed to the conservative ideals of Staten Island high society, and it deciphers the role photography played in her journey of self-discovery. Too Good to Get Married is the first in-depth study of Alice Austen since 1976. Historic Richmond Town is the steward of the Alice Austen Photograph Collection of 7,500 original prints and negatives. <\/p>\n
