Description
An account of the resource
<p>Ella A. Giles was born near Madison, Wisconsin, on February 2, 1851. Growing up in the home of a father who was a philanthropist and a mother who fostered Ella’s love of art and literature, she pursued interests in those areas throughout her life. As her<span> </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> </span>profile notes, “She early showed musical talent. Her fine voice was carefully cultivated by Hans Balatka. She was quite distinguished as an oratorio and church singer when her health failed and she was compelled to abandon what promised to be a successful career in music.” (320)<br /><br />Although her dream was not to be, the resilient Ella was determined to make her mark. Turning to literary pursuits, she wrote<em><span> </span>Bachelor Ben</em>, her first novel, which was published in 1875 by Madison publishers Atwood & Culver and Chicago publishers Janson, McClurg & Co. It was reviewed by numerous periodicals, including<span> </span><em>Literary World</em><span> </span>(August 1, 1875) and<span> </span><em>Saturday Review</em><span> </span>(September 25, 1875) and sold one thousand volumes in just sixty days. (<em>Los Angeles Herald</em>) The next year, she published<span> </span><em>Out from the Shadows</em>, which was reviewed by<span> </span><em>The Independent</em><span> </span>on June 15, 1876, and by several other periodicals. In 1879, Ella's newest book,<span> </span><em>Maiden Rachel</em>, appeared on the shelves of bookstores and libraries. Like her earlier work, it was reviewed by<span> </span><em>The Independent<span> </span></em>(August 7, 1879),<span> </span><em>Literary World<span> </span></em>(July 5, 1879), and other periodicals. Madison readers would have had an opportunity to meet the author, as Ella became a librarian at the Madison Public Library that year. She remained at the library for five years while giving public talks, writing, and publicizing other writers. On May 21, 1882, Ella penned “The West’s Literature” for a Wisconsin newspaper, promoting the growing literature of her section of the country. <br /><br />In 1884, while caring for her father, Ella wrote poetry and social science articles. She published<span> </span><em>Flowers of the Spirit</em>, a volume of her poetry, in 1891. As one of the leaders of the Contemporary Club, she also hosted literary gatherings on topics such as Browning, Emerson, and political economy. (“Unitarian Church Became Established Here in 1869” -<span> </span><em>Los Angeles Herald</em><span> </span>) As “Old Days on West Wilson Street,” a 1922<span> </span><em>Capital Times</em><span> </span>article, recalled, "One of the most attractive of the literary salons of Wisconsin was modestly but most delightfully held at Miss Giles’ [sic] home during her life in Madison. Her friend, Miss Zona Gale, was often a sharer in the pleasures of the gatherings, and a member of the home circle for several winters while a student at the university.” Ella also fought for women’s rights as a member of The Association for the Advancement of Women. (<em>Los Angeles Herald)<span> </span></em> </p>
<p>Although she lived in Wisconsin, Ella traveled frequently. One of those trips was to Yellowstone National Park with the Wisconsin Press Association. <a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/114" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stella A. Gaines Fifield</a>, a Wisconsin journalist who is in<span> </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em>, and her husband were in the same Pullman sleeper car as Ella during this Northern Pacific Railroad excursion. Ella spent winters in warmer climates.<br /><br />After her father passed away in May of 1895, Ella decided to make Los Angeles her home.<span> </span><em>The Los Angeles Herald<span> </span></em>celebrated Ella’s entrance into the city with a lengthy laudatory<span> </span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85042461/1895-09-29/ed-1/seq-18/#date1=1868&index=1&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=A+ELLA+GILES&proxdistance=5&date2=1963&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Ella+A.+Giles&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a><span> </span>on September 29th. It concluded with praise from the newspaper and a friend: “Miss Giles possesses the rare quality of magnetism and unconsciously draws people about her. As a friend said of her, she has no sullen brow, no sarcastic smile and no bitter word for a sister’s success; but her cheerful ‘she deserves it all’ is as ready as her warm hand.”</p>
<p>Ella married journalist George Drake Ruddy in 1896. While in Los Angeles, she expanded her social network, getting to know author Hattie Tyng Griswold, Caroline Severance, and numerous others.<br /><br />By 1902, Ella and George were living at Mission Cottage on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. She was President of the California Badger Club of Los Angeles and wrote<span> </span><a href="https://hdl.handle.net/2027/uc2.ark:/13960/t08w3bt46" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Club Etiquette: A Conversation between a Club Woman and a Non-member Who Answer the Calling Question over the Tea-Cups</em></a>. </p>
<p>During the Summer of 1904, Ella traveled from California to Short Beach, Connecticut to visit Ella Wheeler Wilcox, her long-time friend and fellow poet, at her spectacular warm-weather home. While on the way, Ella stopped in Boston to visit the homes of Longfellow and Lowell, as well as in Concord to see where Emerson, Hawthorne, and the Alcotts had lived. The two Wisconsin natives collaborated on a book,<span> </span><em>Around the Year,<span> </span></em>which was published that year. The next year, Ella wrote the "Description of Mrs. Wilcox's Home and Life" for her friend's autobiography,<em><span> </span>The Story of A Literary Career. <span> </span></em>She continued to write poetry, publishing<em><span> </span>Lace O' Me Life</em><span> </span>in 1916.</p>
<p>Ella passed away in Los Angeles on June 26, 1917. She is buried in Madison’s Forest Hill Cemetery.</p>

Title
A name given to the resource
WEISS, Mrs. Susan Archer
Description
An account of the resource
Susan Archer Talley Weiss was born in Hanover County, VA on February 14. A Woman of the Century lists her birth year as 1835, but other sources list it as 1822. Her family moved to Richmond when Susan was eight, and she lost her ability to hear two years later, due to Scarlet Fever. <br /><br />With the support of her father and her cousin, sculptor Alexander Galt, Susan cultivated her artistic and writing talents. She published in <a href="http://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/113" target="_blank"><em>The Southern Literary Messenger</em></a> when she was eleven and began her writing career. During her career, she contributed many <a href="https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/moajrnl?c=moajrnl&cc=moajrnl&key=author&page=browse&value=Talley&Submit=Submit" target="_blank">pieces</a> to this prominent Richmond periodical. Susan's work was also available in book form, as Rudd & Carleton published her <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=loc.ark:/13960/t5gb2z460;view=1up;seq=7" target="_blank">Poems</a> in 1859. On October 26, <em>The Richmond Dispatch</em> included an <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84024738/1859-10-26/ed-1/seq-2/#date1=1789&sort=date&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=18&words=Archer+Susan+Talley&proxdistance=5&date2=1963&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Susan+Archer+Talley&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank">advertisement</a> noting that Susan's book was being sold for seventy-five cents at Randolph's Bookstore and Bindery on Main Street in Richmond. <em>The Nationa Era</em> <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84026752/1859-11-10/ed-1/seq-2/#date1=1789&sort=date&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=19&words=Archer+Susan+Talley&proxdistance=5&date2=1963&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Susan+Archer+Talley&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank">reviewed</a> her book on November 10, 1859.<br /><br />Susan's personal network in Richmond included Benjamin B. Minor, editor of <em>The Southern Literary Messenger</em>, Edgar Allan Poe, Rosalie Poe, and sculptor Edward Virginius Valentine. <br /><br />Her lengthy poem <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=dul1.ark:/13960/t8z902596;view=1up;seq=2" target="_blank">"The Battle of Manassas"</a> was published as a broadside in Richmond on August 3, 1861. When living in Norfolk during the Civil War, Susan apparently served as a <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/31929632" target="_blank">spy</a>, was caught, and spent time in confinement.<br /><br />She married Colonel Louis Weiss of the Union Army, started a family and moved to New York City. However, Susan's personal life was not a happy one and the couple divorced. Focusing on her writing to support herself and her son, Susan penned pieces for newspapers and magazines such as <a href="http://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/32" target="_blank"><em>Scribner's Monthly</em></a> ("<a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=inu.30000011751272;view=1up;seq=992" target="_blank">Peter Bloch. A Hartz Legend,"</a> September 1871), <a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/226" target="_blank"><em>The Aldine</em></a> ("The Best to Come," June 1875), <a href="http://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/31" target="_blank"><em>Century Magazine</em> </a>("The Last Days of Poe," April 1878), <a href="http://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/33" target="_blank"><em>Harper's Magazine </em></a>(May 1878), <em>Wide Awake</em> (June 1886), and <em>The People's Home Journal</em> (1904).<br /><br />In 1907, Broadway Publishing Company published Susan's <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/33930" target="_blank"><em>The</em> <em>Home Life of Poe</em>.</a><br /><br />During her later years, she lived in Richmond with her son. She passed away there on April 7, 1917 and was buried in Riverview Cemetery.

Description
An account of the resource
<p><span>Actress Helen Dauvray was born in San Francisco, California, on Valentine's Day in 1859. She made her acting debut in the same city, just five years later. </span><br /><br /><span>"Little Nell, the California Diamond," as she was known, had a very successful career in New York City. During her career, she worked with theatre giants such as actor Junius Brutus Booth, actress Matilda Heron, and playwright Bronson Howard. Helen married baseball player John Montgomery Ward in 1887, but the marriage was not a happy one and they divorced in 1893. Despite the troubles in her personal life, Helen was flourishing in her professional life. During the 1890s, she had her own theatre company.</span></p>
<p><span>She performed in Honolulu in 1895 and then headed to Australia to perform there. On the way, Helen met and began her relationship with Admiral Albert Gustav Winterhalter. After they married in 1896, she retired from the stage for several years. Eventually, Helen began to act again. </span></p>
<p><span>Helen passed away on December 3, 1923, and was buried next to her husband in Arlington National Cemetery.</span></p>

Josephine Kirby Williamson Henry was born in Newport, KY on February 22, 1846. She later lived in Versailles, KY.
Description
An account of the resource
<p>In the 1800s, Josephine Kirby Henry went outside the boundaries of a typical woman during that time by being a women’s rights leader, writer, and political activist. <br /><br />Josephine was born on February 22, 1843, into the wealthy Williamson family in Newport, Kentucky. She was the daughter of Captain Euclid Williamson, a Virginian, and Mary Kirby Williamson of Leeds, England. Josephine grew up and married Captain William Henry of Versailles, Kentucky in 1868. Captain William Henry was an eminent scholar and one of the most well-known educators in the South. They resided in Kentucky and became deeply involved in state and local affairs. One year later they welcomed their only son, Fredrick W. Henry. Fredrick was a writer and reporter for the Chicago Inter Ocean Newspaper, where he would later die in a train fire while writing an article. </p>
<p>Josephine was an American Progressive Era women’s rights leader, suffragist, social reformer, and writer. She was a strong advocate for women and was a leading proponent of legislation that would grant married women property rights. Henry lobbied hard for the adoption of the Kentucky 1894 Married Women’s Property Act, and she is credited for being instrumental in its passage. She was the first woman to campaign publicly for a statewide office in Kentucky. Josephine would later die in 1928, but not without leaving an impact on the world and in the eyes of women. </p>

<p><span>J</span><span>ulia Caroline Ripley Dorr was born on February 13, 1825, in Charleston, South Carolina. She was the daughter of William Young Ripley and Zulma DeLacy Thomas. When Julia was a young girl, her father moved the family to his native Vermont, where he devoted himself to the Rutland marble quarries. After William built the Rutland Opera House, Julia worked to develop women’s appreciation for the arts.</span></p>
<p><span>In 1847, Julia married Hon. Seneca M. Dorr, a lawyer and legislator from New York. They had five children. Seneca encouraged her writing, and he sent Julia's first published poem to “</span><i><span>Union Magazine”</span></i><span> without her knowledge. Her first published short story, “Isabel Leslie,” won her one hundred dollars in prize money. Julia's novel “</span><i><span>Farmingdale”</span></i><span> was published under her pseudonym, Caroline Thomas, again with assistance and support from her husband. In addition to being a wife and mother, Julia was a prolific poet, an author, a wife, a mother, and an inspirational community member. </span></p>
<p><span>After Seneca passed away in 1884, Julia devoted some of her time to another cause. According to her “</span><i><span>A Women of the Century”</span></i><span> profile, "she became the leader of a band of women who founded the Rutland Free Library, the success of which has been so remarkable" (253). Surely, her works were in that library, as Julia’s poetry, stories, essays and letters won respect from her townspeople and famous male writers such as Longfellow, Emerson, Whittier, and Holmes. She rightfully earned her place in American literary history. Julia was honored as Vermont’s “unofficial poet laureate,” and she was bestowed the honor of Doctor of Letters from Middlebury College in 1910. </span></p>
<p><span>Julia Caroline Riley Dorr died on January 18, 1913, and was buried in Rutland's Evergreen Cemetery.</span></p>
