Goodnight Moon is an interesting book for sure (the other not so much). But what we are seeing is acclaim for another landed gentry getting her chance to 'do her thing'. A couple of quick bits from her wiki: "Brown was born in Brooklyn, New York, the middle child of three of Maude Margaret (Johnson) and Robert Bruce Brown.[1][3] She was the granddaughter of politician Benjamin Gratz Brown. Her parents had an unhappy marriage. She was initially raised in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood, and attended Chateau Brilliantmont boarding school in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1923,[4][5] while her parents were living in India and Canterbury, Connecticut. In 1925, she attended The Kew-Forest School.[6] She began attending Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Massachusetts, in 1926, where she did well in athletics. After graduation in 1928, Brown went on to Hollins College in Roanoke, Virginia." - granddaughter of politician, boarding school in Switzerland "Brown was an avid, lifelong beagler and was noted for her ability to keep pace, on foot, with the hounds.[7]" - foxhunter "While at Hollins she was briefly engaged.[12] She dated, for some time, an unknown "good, quiet man from Virginia,"[13] had a long-running affair with William Gaston,[14][15] and had a summer romance with Preston Schoyer.[16] In the summer of 1940, Brown began a long-term relationship with Blanche Oelrichs (nom de plume Michael Strange), poet/playwright, actress, and the former wife of John Barrymore. The relationship, which began as a mentoring one, eventually became romantic and included co-habiting at 10 Gracie Square in Manhattan beginning in 1943.[17] As a studio, they used Cobble Court, a wooden house later moved to Charles Street. Oelrichs, who was 20 years Brown's senior, died in 1950." - relationships with men and women. Is this 'radical'? Even in 1920? "In 1952, Brown met James Stillman 'Pebble' Rockefeller Jr. at a party, and they became engaged." -- The point is that many people are capable of creating wonderful literature, being acclaimed as radical, etc. Its not that hard when you granddad was governor of Missouri and a potential VP, you went to school in Switzerland, and you are engaged to a Rockefeller.
