Summary
A satirical essay collection from 1905, this book presents a narrator who calls herself foolish while arguing that her supposed folly is a matter of ancestry, public judgment, and changing standards of respectability. It traces a comic family pedigree, contrasts being right in life with being right after death, and reflects on how wisdom is circulated through books, schools, and public institutions. The narrator then turns to her own decision to put her wisdom into book form.
