    Ours is hardly a new interest, right? But most all I’ve seen on the Internet is references to Internet-published authors of the past few years. Where did the authors of previous decades write? Is there a hundred years of works out there I haven’t read? Or did that work really not have any venue before the Internet? Seems like it must be somewhere.

    Hey – I’m not aware of anything pertaining to FMG being written before the 1990s. Surely the fetish existed, and perhaps some guy wrote it down, but if so it was either destroyed or remains undiscovered.

    Check the alt.amazon-women.admirers archives at Google Groups from 1995 and 1996 if you want to see the early stories.

    Actually, I spaced and forgot about LH-Art. LH-Art has been publishing for a long time, and the owner sells some of his father’s work from the 40s forward. Some of this has growth themes, and much of the material that dates from the 80s forward contains growth themes.

    Many years ago, when I’s did dwell within the domcile of the Mistress Abigail, I’s was fascinated by the discovered that the notion and the writing of so-called Female Muscle Growth and female strength stories dates back as far back as the early Victorian Period in literary terms and even further back in terms of mythology.

    There were easily a dozen of so "Brown Cover" (the polite term for pornographic) novels dwelling with the issue of FMG and Strength, but they were hardly as graphic as the ones now days.

    The real shame of this is they are next to impossibly to find. Mistress Abigail had a transcribed edition from the 1920’s copied from the original text (with some imcomplete illustrations) and she would never part with them. The only reason I’s was even allowed to view that was because I’s expressed a verbal interest in female bodybuilders and Female Muscle Growth -this was in 1985, when I’s was but 15 years of age.

    Since that day I’s have tried in vain to find any edition of those novels (Mistress Abigail had two of the 12 known English novels), but, alas, all for naught.

    So, it is truly fascinating to discover that we are not alone in our fetish. The facts may have changed over time, but the fantasy has always been the same.

    And that is a comforting thought.

    Wow PtNB, you are one lucky dude! Finding even a transcription would be like finding the Lost Dutchman Mine! Have you found any viable leads? Or does it seem like the novels are lost in those cavernous government vaults that no one is allowed in?

    No leads on available copies have yet surfaced.

    All known and preserved editions are in the hands of collectors (people who prefer the value and heiratge of the work rather than the content) and shall not leave them until their eventual passing -even if then.

    It would appear that such novels were merely disposed of in that very human fashion of it having no major appeal or worth and was such a small and little known (nay, niche) market that it was simply forgotten about and religated to obivion.

    Mores the pity. But it they were a joy to behold and to be witness to the realisation that we a more akin to those who came before than we would otherwise give credit for.

    Here’s a young readers novel from 1967 that might interest. I say might because I’m not sure exactly how much growth is in it but there is some.

    Master Mike and the Miracle Maid

    by Elizabeth Starr Hill

    Of course being this type of book it couldn’t really be callled a fetish book.

    TPNB,

    can you recall the authors and/or titles of these books, possibly?

    TPNB,

    Authors’ name were never printed in "brown cover" books because they were considered pornography and "below the standards of a literary gentleman".

    The only title remember is only a mild recollection and was something akin to: Lydia: Tale of a Circus Strongwoman.

    A far from impressive book but did contain details of working out and some female muscle growth as Lydia grew stronger -strong enough to lift an elephant.

    Good luck in your search, dear luvmusgirl. For you shall need it.

    And apologies for not being more help in this matter.

    Peace
