Emma Lazarus was born in New York, NY on July 22, 1849.
Description
An account of the resource
<p><span>Emma Lazarus was born in New York, New York on July 22, 1849 and died there on November 19, 1887.</span><br /><br /><span>Emma was inspired and mentored by Ralph Waldo Emerson. In 1868, she mailed her book to Ralph Waldo Emerson which resulted in a mentor-mentee relationship. For a few years, Emma asked him for feedback on her poems, and Emerson gladly provided critiques and praise. A rift occurred in their relationship in 1873, as Ralph Waldo Emerson did not publish her work in his anthology, </span><em>Parnassus</em><span>. Emma never found out why he did not her print her work, since he never responded to her letters.</span><br /><br /><span>Miss Lazarus volunteered at the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) after visiting Russian Jewish Immigrants living in squalor at Ward Island. These immigrants had left Russia due to the Czar’s ongoing pogroms and other antisemitic acts. The HIAS, which was formed in 1881, provided meals, transportation, and employment counseling.</span></p>
<p><span>That same year, Emma wrote several poems for a broad range of audiences concerning the antisemitism occurring in Eastern Europe, particularly Russia. Her poems, "The Banner of the Jew," "The Exile," and "The Death of Death" (she dedicated this to "George Eliot," for her inspiration and dream of a Jewish nation), portrayed the tragic suffering and degradation of her people (Jews). Emma was an early proponent of what became the Zionist movement. Her views are illustrated in her “Epistle for Hebrews." </span><br /><br /><span>Emma wrote"The New Colossus," a sonnet, in 1883 as part of fundraiser for the Statue of Liberty's pedestal. She wanted others to know that this poem voiced support for the immigrants coming to the shores of New York City. Unfortunately, Emma did not live to see the fruit of her labor. It was 1886 by the time sufficient money was raised to erect the statue in New York Harbor, and Emma passed in November of 1887, before its completion. </span><span>To honor Miss Lazarus's work, her friend, Georgina Schuyler, had Emma's poem engraved on a plaque which was mounted on the statue's pedestal..</span><br /><br /><span>Her volunteer efforts and ideas also led to the creation of the Hebrew Technical Institute, which was formed in 1884 in New York City. This non-sectarian facility provided training in vocational skills for students ages 14-17. Later, it became known as the first technical high school in America.</span><br /><br /><span>In 1944, The Emma Lazarus Federation of Women’s Clubs was founded by the Women’s Division of the Jewish People’s Fraternal Order of the International Workers Order. Its mission was three-fold: t</span><span>o provide relief to wartime victims, t</span><span>o combat racism and antisemitism, and t</span><span>o foster Jewish identification through its educational programs and women’s rights. </span><br /><br /><span>To honor Miss Lazarus's accomplishments as a famous poet, Ruth Hollander, a senior from Tucson High School, was elected president of the newly formed Emma Lazarus B'nai B'rith Women’s Group in March, 1951. </span></p>

Peattie wrote a lengthy <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84037890/1896-02-12/ed-1/seq-2/#date1=1777&sort=date&date2=1963&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=0&words=BATES+CLARA+DOTY&proxdistance=5&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Clara+Doty+Bates&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obituary</a> that was published in <em>The Omaha Nebraska-Herald</em> and reprinted in <em>The Hartford Herald</em> (Hartford, KY) on February 12, 1896.

Title
A name given to the resource
PERRY, Miss Nora
Description
An account of the resource
Nora Perry was a New England poet, newspaper correspondent, and author. Her poems “Tying her Bonnet under her Chin” and “After the Ball” shot her to literary fame and were reprinted in newspapers across the country. Her early success led her to write society pieces for <em>The Chicago Tribune</em> and <em>The Providence Journal</em> in her later years. <br /><br />Born in Dudley, Massachusetts in 1831, Miss Perry was the youngest of three children. Her family relocated to Providence, Rhode Island while she was still a child. An avid writer even in her youth, Miss Perry eventually became a part of Sarah Helen Whitman’s literary circle in Providence. Nora would wake early in the morning and write until noon at an old-fashioned table that she called her “shop” in her living room, where she kept her collection of chromolithographs wherever there was space to put them. Occasionally, she would write another hour or two in the afternoon, but almost never wrote in the evening. Around the time that she became a professional writer, Nora destroyed all of her writings from her adolescence. <br /><br />Nora continued to write lyrical poetry throughout her life, but she also wrote short stories for adolescent readers. It was a natural progression for her to write from the point of view of a young person, as Miss Perry was often described as “vivacious with an intense personality and wit”. As Nora wrote:<br />“I have too much youth for the rest of the world at my age. Life never seems old to me, always fresh.”<br /><br />Her young adult stories were intended to inspire higher ideals in its readers. That was the power of literature to Miss Perry:<br />“Nothing is so practical as the ideal which is ever at hand to uphold and better the real.”<br /><br />Nora was not a religious person. She had no qualms about declaring her agnosticism or, as she referred to it, “the agnosticism of don’t know.” Instead of following religious doctrine, she believed in a “practical service to humanity,” which she practiced in part by encouraging young writers in their craft. Though not religious, Nora did believe in the supernatural. She possessed a moonstone talisman that she felt helped in her literary success and brought her good luck. <br /><br />Though she was never married, Nora preferred male companionship, as she enjoyed their point of view and way of thinking. She developed intimate friendships with John Greenleaf Whittier, Wendell Phillips, and George William Curtis to name just a few. Yet, she also maintained many female friends as well. Harriet Prescott Spofford was one such friend and sister-poet, who wrote of her friend’s poetic style: <br />“Nora Perry writes in verse because she cannot help it. The music bubbles up in her as the water gushes in a spring, and whenever she has allowed art to clear the way the result is a ‘well of English undefiled.’”<br /><br />Miss Perry adored her hair, which was often described as a reddish-golden blonde and pale blonde in her later years. It pleased her when people admired it. In fact, hair descriptions often found their way into her writing. <br /><br />In her later years, Miss Perry was struck with what was referred to as “author’s cramp” or “writer’s cramp,” which affected her ability to write. The pain was so great, she nearly lost the use of her right hand and taught herself to write left-handed so she could rest her dominant one.<br /><br />Nora Perry passed away on May 13, 1896 of an aneurysm while visiting Dudley, Massachusetts. As Caroline Ticknor wrote in <em>The Lamp</em>:<br />“To the friends who had loved her, and would gladly have ministered to her in her last hours, it was a deep grief that she should have died alone in a boarding-house. And yet her solitary passing seemed somehow in harmony with her own independent, self-contained mode of living.”<br /><br />Miss Perry was buried at Swan Point Cemetery in Providence, Rhode Island.

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>

<p>Lydia Louisa Anna Very was born on November 2, 1823, in Salem, Massachusetts, the youngest child of Jones and Lydia Very. Her father passed away when Lydia was just a year old. </p>

<p>While busy with her career in education, Lydia also found time to create paintings and clay models, to write poetry and prose, and to design and illustrate books. Her design for the book “Red Riding Hood,” in the shape of the main character, was innovative and very popular.</p>
<p>An advocate of <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88053046/1901-04-04/ed-1/seq-2/#date1=1789&index=5&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=A+L+Lydia+Very&proxdistance=5&date2=1963&ortext=&proxtext=+&phrasetext=Lydia+L.+A.+Very&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1">corporal punishment for children</a>, Lydia wrote to Charles Brown Lore, Chief Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court, in the Spring of 1901 to support his views on this issue.

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
Author and lawyer Lillian Blanche Fearing was born in Davenport, Iowa, on November 27, 1863. Despite being blind from birth, Lillian achieved much during her lifetime. Lillian's obituary in the <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn92053934/1900-08-15/ed-1/seq-5/#date1=1789&index=0&rows=20&words=Blanche+Fearing&searchType=basic&sequence=0&state=&date2=1943&proxtext=Blanche+Fearing&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Rock Island Argus</em></a> notes, in part:<br /><br />"At the age of 8 she published her first poem, and by the time she was 12 years old her verses were appearing regularly in the Boston Transcript. Personal letters commending her work were sent her by <a href="http://www.marykatemcmaster.org/MDP/items/show/136" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oliver Wendell Holmes</a>, John G. Whittier, and Edmund Clarence Stedman."<br /><br />When she was taking courses at Union College of Law in Chicago, Lillian's mother "was her constant companion and read books to her" <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn89058128/1890-07-17/ed-1/seq-1/#date1=1789&index=6&rows=20&words=Blanche+Fearing&searchType=basic&sequence=0&state=&date2=1943&proxtext=Blanche+Fearing&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(<em>The Comet</em></a>). When she graduated, Lillian was the only woman in her class and one of four scholarship recipients (<em><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85033295/1890-07-23/ed-1/seq-7/#date1=1870&sort=date&date2=1943&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=14&words=Blanche+Fearing&proxdistance=5&state=&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Blanche+Fearing&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watertown Republican</a></em>).<br /><br />Well regarded by her peers, Lillian was one of the people feated in literary critic William Morton Payne's "Literary Chicago" in the February 1893 edition of <em>New England Magazine</em>. The article mentioned many men and women, including Eliza Allen Starr, Olive Thorne Miller, Amanda T. Jones, Harriet Monroe, and Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Payne praised Fearing's work as "remarkable" and, speaking of her poem "In The City By The Lake," he noted: "A note of song stronger and more sustained has hardly been sounded by any other American woman" (<a href="http://ebooks.library.cornell.edu/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=newe;cc=newe;rgn=full%20text;idno=newe0013-6;didno=newe0013-6;view=image;seq=704;node=newe0013-6%3A1;page=root;size=100" target="_blank" rel="noopener">696</a>). Readers of <em>New England Magazine</em> would have known of Lillian, since she had published <a href="http://ebooks.library.cornell.edu/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=moajrn2;cc=moajrn2;q1=Fearing;rgn=author;view=image;seq=0669;idno=newe0008-6;node=newe0008-6%3A9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"The Bivouac of Sherman's Army"</a> in that periodical's August 1890 issue.<br /><br />In 1894, Lillian wrote a piece for <em>Chicago Woman's Times</em> about the need for a different title than Miss for adult single women. She noted that males are called master and then Mr., but that females are addressed as Miss until they are married. She was perturbed that it took marriage to allow a woman to have a mature adult title. Lillian's words were reprinted in the March 10, 1894 edition of <em><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86091092/1894-03-10/ed-1/seq-3/#date1=1870&sort=date&date2=1943&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=12&words=Blanche+Fearing&proxdistance=5&state=&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Blanche+Fearing&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Caldwell Tribune</a></em> (Idaho Territory), giving her thoughts an even larger audience.<br /><br />Throughout her life, Lillian received praise in the press for her work as a lawyer, her writing, and her phenomenal work ethic. <em><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn90059959/1895-10-26/ed-1/seq-2/#date1=1870&sort=date&date2=1943&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=16&words=Blanche+Fearing&proxdistance=5&state=&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Blanche+Fearing&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Irish Standard's</a></em> characterization of her serves as a fine example of the admiration Lillian's contemporaries had for her: <br /><br />"Miss Blanche Fearing is a graduate of the Chicago Law School and surely finding her way to a successful legal career. She is a poet, also, but her verses do not begin with 'whereases' or 'know all men,' etc., but are marked by the true poetic quality. Miss Fearing's profession means a livelihood to her. Her literary work is the overflow of her life. When it is known that Miss Fearing is entirely blind, the courage, enthusiasm, and perseverance that her work in these two lines exhibits fill one with admiration for the beauty and strength of character that so triumph over untoward circumstances and make life so noble, useful and sweet."<br /><br />She was very fortunate to have a supportive family. According to the <em><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86081854/1900-11-15/ed-1/seq-7/#date1=1870&sort=date&date2=1943&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=6&words=Blanch+Fearing&proxdistance=5&state=&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Blanche+Fearing&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republican News Item</a></em>, Lillian's mother and sister played the crucial role of reading legal documents to her. <br /><br />Lillian's image and a discussion about her were included in <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85066387/1896-12-13/ed-1/seq-19/#date1=1870&sort=date&date2=1943&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=18&words=Blanche+Fearing&proxdistance=5&state=&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Blanche+Fearing&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Women Lawyers of America,"</a> a lengthy December 13, 1896, article in <em>The San Francisco Call</em>.

While the use of the word "girl" must not have pleased Lillian, she must have been happy to hear that the paper had written about her and called her "a dual success in her dual professions of author and lawyer."<br /><br />Unfortunately, Lillian passed away in Eureka Heights, Illinois, later that year. When she died on August 13, 1900, this courageous woman was just thirty-six years old.

Description
An account of the resource
Emily Huntington Miller was born in Brooklyn, Connecticut, on October 22, 1833. She was a writer from a young age, and she graduated from Oberlin College. <br /><br />In 1860, Emily married John E. Miller, whose career achievements included being a principal, a professor, and the publisher of <em>Little Corporal</em>, which later merged with <em>St. Nicholas</em>. Emily, John, and their children lived in Granville, Illinois, Plainfield, Illinois, Evanston, Illinois, and St. Paul, Minnesota. Emily wrote for and edited <em>Little Corporal</em>, and she contributed to newspapers and periodicals such as <em><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/33" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harper's Magazine</a></em>,<em><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/22" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Independent</a></em>, and <em>Our Young Folks</em>. A prolific author, Emily penned several books, including <em>The Royal Road to Fortune</em> (1869), <em>Hang Up the Baby's Stocking</em> (1870), <em>The Parish of Fair Haven</em> (1876), <em>What Tommy Did</em> (1876), <em>The Bears' Den</em> (1877), <em><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b4517754;view=1up;seq=9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Captain Fritz: His Friends and Adventures</a></em> (1877), <em>Summer Days at Kirkwood</em> (1877), <em>A Year at Riverside Farm</em> (1877), and <em>Little Neighbors</em> (1879).

Description
An account of the resource
<p><span>Louisa Morton Willard Greene was born in Ashburnham, Massachusetts, on May 23, 1819. She worked in a woolen mill in Dedham, Massachusetts, where she began writing, and later taught in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.</span><br /><br /><span>After marrying businessman and politician Jonas Greene in 1841, Louisa became the mother of a son, Jonas Willard Greene, who was stillborn, two younger sons, Willard Jonas Greene and George Henry Greene, and five daughters, Martha, Estelle, Christina, Wilma, and Charlena. The family lived in Peru, Maine. </span></p>
<p><span>Louisa was involved in many philanthropic and reform activities, including ministering to the sick using the Water Cure, and participating in philanthropy, anti-slavery reform, temperance reform, and suffrage efforts. Louisa utilized her public speaking and journalistic talents on behalf of the causes she believed in.</span></p>
<p><span>Before the Civil War, Louisa wrote poetry, contributed articles to the </span><em>Oxford Democrat</em><span>, and led anti-slavery efforts in her area </span>As her daughter Christina later<span> </span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83009653/1900-04-10/ed-1/seq-3/#date1=1789&index=0&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Greene+GREENE+Louisa+LOUISA+M&proxdistance=5&date2=1963&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Louisa+M.+Greene&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remembered</a>, Louisa was very active in the war effort: "During the civil war Mrs. Greene's patriotic labors were untiring. In addition to multitudinous household duties, which were always faithfully performed, she took upon herself the labor of collecting, preparing and forwarding hospital supplies for the boys at the front who were so dear to her heart."</p>
<p><span>In 1869, Louisa's family moved to Manassas, Virginia, residing at the home they named Birmingham. She became a widow four years later. </span></p>
<p><span>Louisa passed away in Washington, D.C. on March 5, 1900, and her ashes were buried in the family plot at St. Paul's Cemetery in Alexandria, Virginia. In addition to Christina's beautiful obituary, Louisa's </span><span>daughter Estelle also penned a farewell announcement and included a</span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83009653/1900-04-10/ed-1/seq-3/#date1=1789&index=0&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Greene+GREENE+Louisa+LOUISA+M&proxdistance=5&date2=1963&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Louisa+M.+Greene&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span> </span>poem</a><span> that she had written about her mother's passing. Within her tribute, Estelle included Louisa's motto: "Help for the living and hope for the dead."</span><br /><br /><span>At the National American Woman Suffrage Association Convention in February of 1902, it was announced that Louisa had bequeathed $100 to the organization.</span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
<span>Caroline Lathrop Post was born in Ashford, Connecticut, on November 27, 1824, and began her writing career at an early age. Her family later moved to Hartford, Connecticut, and Pittsfield, Massachusetts.</span><br /><br /><span>She married Abner L. Parsons on March 27, 1844, and gave birth to Clarence Lathrop Parsons, but she lost both her husband and her young son in 1849. After returning to her family in Hartford, Carrie moved to Springfield, Illinois, in 1851 and met Charles Rollin Post, a friend of her brother's. She returned to Hartford the next year and continued to correspond with Charles. They were married on October 10, 1853, and resided in Springfield (</span><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015003510289;view=1up;seq=320" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major, 286</a><span>). Over time, Caroline gave birth to Charles William, Aurelian, and Carroll. She and her family were members of the First Congregational Church. When the boys were growing up, Carrie "guided her boys in the arts, music, and literature" (Major, 290). She also found time to contribute to several publications, including </span><em>Chicago Advance</em><span>, </span><em>Life and Light</em><span>, </span><em>Golden Rule</em><span>, and </span><em>Floral World.</em><br /><br /><span>In 1886, Caroline's family moved to Fort Worth, Texas. She continued to write both poetry and prose and </span><span>was involved with the </span><a href="http://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/186" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Woman's Board of Missions</a><span>. </span><em><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433076020076;view=1up;seq=222" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Magazine of Poetry</a></em><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433076020076;view=1up;seq=222" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> from 1892</a><span> published both a short biographical sketch and six of her poems.

Post,</a><span> became a millionaire through his inventions in the cereal industry. Since his parents were devoted churchgoers and needed a new church, C.W. donated the money for the First Congregational Church of Fort Worth in 1903 (Major, 292). That same year, Charles Rollin and Caroline celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary, a milestone that was </span><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mmet.ark:/13960/t7tm8vz66;view=1up;seq=129;size=200" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mentioned</a><span> in Margaret E. Sangster's "Around the Hearth" page in </span><em>The Christian Herald</em><span>.</span><br /><br /><span>When he was ill in 1914, C.W. committed suicide. In his eulogy, C.W.'s cousin, Rev. Roswell C. Post, paid tribute to </span><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015071135225;view=1up;seq=28;size=125" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carrie</a><span> and Rollin, as well as to Charlie. When she heard of her son's death, ninety-year-old Carrie wrote a </span><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015071135225;view=1up;seq=30;size=125" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poem</a><span> to him. A few months later, on October 17, 1914, Carrie passed away in Fort Worth. She was buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois.</span>

Description
An account of the resource
Alice S. Deletombe, born in Gallipolis, OH on April 2, 1854, was a poet. Humble by nature, young Alice did not publicize her work and often wrote under a pseudonym.<br /><br />In 1891, <em>The Magazine of Poetry</em> <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b3529222;view=1up;seq=80" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> her image, some of her poems, and a biographical sketch of Alice by W. Farrand Fetch, quitely likely same person who later wrote her sketch for <em>A Woman of the Century.</em> <br /><br />Commenting on Alice's work, Fetch added:<br />"Miss Deletombe's poems are inspirations emotion more than reason, of heart not art, which well out of a warm, passionate, beauty-loving heart. As such, they are true poems of the soul, and in spite of some metrical defects, are too good to be lost to the world."<br /><br />Two years later, the same periodical published her poem "<a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433076020068;view=1up;seq=353" target="_blank" rel="noopener">At His Gate</a>."<br /><br />She also served as one of the many contributors to <em>A Woman of the Century</em>.<br /><br />By 1903, Alice was writing for <em>The Rosary</em>, a periodical tied to her Catholic faith.<br /><br />Alice passed away in Gallipolis on December 5, 1929 at age seventy-five. She was <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/95243775/alice-deletombe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">buried</a> in Mound Hill Cemetery in Gallipolis.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Mrs. Emily Thornton Charles was a prodigious author, poet, journalist and editor. Emily, born in Lafayette, Indiana on March 21st, 1845, liked to write in rhyme as a child and was recognized for her writing skills and her ease at expressing herself. <br /><br />She attended the free schools of Indianapolis and at the age of sixteen she became a teacher. However, she did not begin publishing until the death of her husband, Daniel B. Charles, a well-known business man in Indianapolis. Mrs. Charles was left a widow at twenty-four years of age, in 1874. At that time she was in poor health. As the provider for two children, she realized she needed a career and discovered she could convert her facility with writing into a successful career in newspapers.</p>
<p>From there she went on in 1876 to publish her first work <em>Hawthorne Blossoms</em>, in Philadelphia. She wrote under the name Emily Thornton and under the nom de plume: Hawthorne. She has the distinction of establishing and operating "The National Veteran" in Washington, D.C. Due to her absorption in her work in 1883, she became overwrought and was confined to her bed. Not one to be idle, Emily Thornton Charles used this time to revise and edit her poetry. The result was <em>Lyrical Poems</em> (Philadelphia, 1886) a 300-page book that established her as a national poet. At the same time she became a popular lecturer/public speaker, addressing large gatherings, including the National Women's Suffrage Convention with her poetical address "Women's Sphere". Her oratory was such that in 1893, she was selected as a speaker in the World's Columbian Exposition.</p>
<p>Emily was a member of the National Women's Press Association, The Grand Army of the Republic and Order of the Eastern Star.</p>

Emma Lee Benedict was born in Clifton Park, NY on November 16, 1857. She later lived in New York, NY, Washington, DC, and Hyde Park, NY.
Description
An account of the resource
<p><span>Emma Lee Benedict, born on November 16, 1857, was a native of Clifton Park, New York. She was an editor, educator, author, public speaker, and temperance reformer. Passionate about education from a young age, Emma was a graduate of the State Normal School at Albany and the City University of New York. In addition to teaching, Benedict edited “</span><i><span>The New York School Journal.”</span></i><span></span></p>
<p><span>Also interested in writing for children, Emma penned “</span><i><span>Pieces to Speak</span></i><span>.” Lee and Shepard of Boston published this book which </span><a href="http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn94052989/1893-05-28/ed-1/seq-43/#date1=1789&index=0&rows=20&words=Benedict+Emma+Lee&searchType=basic&sequence=0&state=&date2=1924&proxtext=Emma+Lee+Benedict&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1"><span>received praise</span></a><span> from </span><i><span>The Morning Call </span></i><span>of San Francisco. Similarly, T</span><i><span>he New Haven Daily Morning Carrier Journal </span></i><span>gave a positive review</span><i><span> to </span></i><span>Emma's </span><i><span>The Gregory Guards,</span></i><span> another book for young people, calling it: "A story of reaping good by doing good, bright and entertaining and full of life, incident and good sense."</span></p>
<p><span>Through her work with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Emma was affiliated with Mary H. Hunt. Speaking of her extensive research related to temperance, Benedict's </span><i><span>A Woman of the Century</span></i><span> profile notes: "There is probably no other person more familiar than she with the whole subject of the nature and effects of alcohol on the human system" (74). She and Hunt exerted a great deal of effort preparing teaching manuals on the topic.</span></p>
<p><span>Emma married C. Frederick Transeau in Boston on November 28, 1895. In 1900, she was living in Westwood, Massachusetts, and working as a journalist. During the first decades of the new century, Emma continued her crusade against alcohol by writing articles, non-fiction books, and temperance fiction. In addition, Emma was an officer of the Scientific Temperance Federation. Beginning in 1923, she wrote the “What the Current Magazines are Saying about Prohibition and Law Enforcement” column in <em>The American Issue</em>. Emma published her last book, <em>Knotty Problems Regarding Moderate Drinking</em>, in 1935. She passed away in Boston two years later and was buried in Clifton Park Baptist Cemetery, Clifton Park, New York.</span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
<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>
