Now, Voyager (Femmes Fatales)

â€œDonâ€™t letâ€™s ask for the moon! We have the stars!â€ The film that concludes with Bette Davisâ€™s famous words, reaffirmed Davisâ€™s own stardom and changed the way Americans smoked cigarettes. But few contemporary fans of this story of a womanâ€™s self-realization know its source. Olive Higgins Proutyâ€™s 1941 novel Now, Voyager provides an even richer, deeper portrait of the inner life of its protagonist and the society she inhabits. Viewed from a distance of more than 60 years, it also offers fresh and quietly radical takes on psychiatric treatment, traditional family life, female desire, and womenâ€™s agency.

Boston blueblood Charlotte Vale has led an unhappy, sheltered life. Dowdy, repressed, and pushing forty, Charlotte finds salvation in the unlikely form of a nervous breakdown, placing her at a sanitarium, where she undergoes treatment to rebuild her ravaged self-esteem and uncover her true intelligence and charm.

Femmes Fatales restores to print the best of womenâ€™s writing in the classic pulp genres of the mid-20th century. From mystery to hard-boiled noir to taboo lesbian romance, these rediscovered queens of pulp offer subversive perspectives on a turbulent era.
