19273,https://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19273,"LUMMIS, Mrs. Dorothea",,"Dorothea, whose birth name was Mary Dorothea Rhodes, was born on November 9, 1857, in Chillicothe, Ohio. After moving to Portsmouth, Ohio, and attending Portsmouth Female College at the age of sixteen, Dorothea, sometimes called Dolly, pursued her passion for music. Like Annie Fillmore Sheardown, Dorothea studied with Philadelphia's Emma Seiler, moving to that city to attend Seiler's Conservatory of Music.
Eventually, Dorothea moved to Boston to study with James O'Neil, who was affiliated with the New England Conservatory of Music. On September 9, 1880, Dorothea married Charles Fletcher Lummis, a young poet who had attended Harvard. Soon after, in 1881, she switched gears and decided to become a physician. Dorothea began studying at the Boston University School of Medicine, which had been founded in 1873.
After she graduated, Dorothea followed her husband to Los Angeles. In late November of 1884, she began advertising her services as a homeopathist in the city's new Hollenbeck Block. As Dorothea established her practice and her social network, she became affiliated with various philanthropic and professional organizations. In 1885, she was one of the first members of the Flower Festival Society, a group of women determined to build a Woman's Home in Los Angeles. Early in 1887, she was elected president of the Homeopathic Society of Los Angeles.
By 1890, Dorothea was a member of the Los Angeles Kennel Club, sometimes showing Amado, her mastiff. During the next year, when she and Charles divorced, Dorothea found time to pursue other passions. She contributed poems to Puck and became a member of the ""S.M."" Club of Los Angeles vocalists and musicians. In 1892, Dorothea was elected as one of the officers of the Friday Morning Club. Her love for her mastiff became part of her literary work in 1894, when Dorothea published the short story ""Amado"" in the Chicago Inter-Ocean. During her lifetime, she contributed to numerous periodicals.
In addition to her practice and her writing career, Dorothea took a serious interest in helping people in need. On August 18, 1895, the Los Angeles Herald published Dorothea's lengthy article ""Caring for the Outcasts."" She spent time in Chicago at Jane Addams's Hull House and later wrote an article about the settlement house which was published in the American Journal of Sociology in March of 1897. While there, she also came to know Earnest Carroll Moore, who became her second husband.
During the twentieth century, Dorothea continued her practice and was an active member of the California Club and the Friday Morning Club. Both Dorothea and Earnest spoke at the Friday Morning Club in June of 1910. They were guests of honor because Earnest had accepted a position at Yale, so the Moores were moving to New Haven.
Once she was in Connecticut, Dorothea took an active role promoting women's rights. She and Earnest both supported the idea of a woman president for a new women's college in that state. In March of 1913, she was a speaker at the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association's referendum in Hartford. The next year, she took a vacation, sailing to the Mediterranean on the Fabra steamship liner Roma. By that time, Earnest's affiliation had changed to Harvard, so Dorothea had moved to Cambridge.
By 1920, the Moores were back in Los Angeles, where Earnest was a leader at UCLA. Dorothea passed away on March 4, 1942, and was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-7909703.685849 5211266.3859301)|POINT(-8115166.417851 5053500.3595714)|POINT(-8367102.8630438 4852929.5973791)|POINT(-13161233.276423 4033524.654276)|POINT(-9239096.4815997 4767320.1257116)|POINT(-9239325.7926845 4682940.8124678)|9|-9235427.5042425|4722164.9512583|osm

In this endeavor, she worked with xxx, who was editor. As vice-president of the Woman's Press Club of Georgia, she collaborated with Elia Goode Byington, who was the president.
In October of 1892, Lollie Belle moved to Macon, GA, where she became affiliated with The Evening News. In addition to running the women's department of the paper, she was society editor. That same month, some of her poetry was published in Fetter's Southern Magazine. Three years later, the November 1895 volume of Peterson's Magazine included a sketch of Lollie Belle and some of her poetry.

19176,https://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19176,"GILES, Miss Ella A.","Women poets, American","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 A Woman of the Century 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)
Although her dream was not to be, the resilient Ella was determined to make her mark. Turning to literary pursuits, she wrote Bachelor Ben, 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 Literary World (August 1, 1875) and Saturday Review (September 25, 1875) and sold one thousand volumes in just sixty days. (Los Angeles Herald) The next year, she published Out from the Shadows, which was reviewed by The Independent on June 15, 1876, and by several other periodicals. In 1879, Ella's newest book, Maiden Rachel, appeared on the shelves of bookstores and libraries. Like her earlier work, it was reviewed by The Independent (August 7, 1879), Literary World (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.
In 1884, while caring for her father, Ella wrote poetry and social science articles. She published Flowers of the Spirit, 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” - Los Angeles Herald ) As “Old Days on West Wilson Street,” a 1922 Capital Times 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. (Los Angeles Herald)
Although she lived in Wisconsin, Ella traveled frequently. One of those trips was to Yellowstone National Park with the Wisconsin Press Association. Stella A. Gaines Fifield, a Wisconsin journalist who is in A Woman of the Century, and her husband were in the same Pullman sleeper car as Ella during this Northern Pacific Railroad excursion. Ella spent winters in warmer climates.
After her father passed away in May of 1895, Ella decided to make Los Angeles her home. The Los Angeles Herald celebrated Ella’s entrance into the city with a lengthy laudatory article 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.”
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.
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 Club Etiquette: A Conversation between a Club Woman and a Non-member Who Answer the Calling Question over the Tea-Cups.
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, Around the Year, which was published that year. The next year, Ella wrote the ""Description of Mrs. Wilcox's Home and Life"" for her friend's autobiography, The Story of A Literary Career. She continued to write poetry, publishing Lace O' Me Life in 1916.
Ella passed away in Los Angeles on June 26, 1917. She is buried in Madison’s Forest Hill Cemetery.

During her childhood, Allie's family moved to Grand City, Nebraska, then to Loup City, Nebraska. An avid learner, she dedicated herself to her studies. Interested in a career in business, Allie studied the field and became affiliated with a printing office. On August 30, 1880, she began her five-year career as the U.S. postmaster for Loup City.
Allie married Osmond Willard in 1881, after a long courtship, and became the mother of five children. Somehow, she also found time to work with Osmond on his newspaper, The Loup City Times, writing editorials and articles.
After Osmond was assassinated by a rival publisher in May of 1887, due to his paper's opposition to a political ring, Allie became editor of The Loup City Times. Since she had been working closely with Osmond and had gained a wide professional network by attending conventions with him, Allie was well prepared to succeed her husband. She boosted her business acumen by attending business college and briefly served as a clerk in the Nebraska Senate. Allie was a member of the Nebraska Press Association and became affiliated with the Western Newspaper Union in 1889.
In addition, Allie was active with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, advocated for other reforms, and participated in philanthropic work.
After meeting many people during her travels abroad, Allie became associated with The London Signal, owned by Lady Henry Somerset, in 1895.
By 1900, Allie was living in Washington, D.C. and working as a librarian. Ten years later, she was living in Chicago, Illinois, and working as a stenographer in the railroad industry.
Her ""Our Own Lady"" was published in 1931. As Allie wrote in the introduction, it was a ""little book of biography, history and poetry about (Mrs.) Bertha Baur, because she is our own lady."" Bertha Elizabeth Duppler Baur was a successful businesswoman, political activist, and suffrage advocate who was living in Chicago at the time.

After she was educated at a convent in Michigan, Helen returned to Maine and became a teacher. By 1888, Helen was teaching at her own private school in Bar Harbor, Maine.
Desiring to become a journalist, she changed her career course. Helen moved to Boston, Massachusetts, and became a reporter for the Bar Harbor Record, as the Boston correspondent, and Boston's Saturday Evening Gazette. She was an early member of the New England Woman's Press Association, serving as the recording secretary until April of 1891. (Lord, 54) At that time, she returned to Maine to become managing editor of the Bar Harbor Record, but her tenure there came to an end when the new owner fired her. She moved back to Boston and wrote for the Boston Home Journal (Vandenberg and Shettleworth). Helen was a determined journalist. As the Savannah Courier of January 14, 1892, noted: ""MISS HELEN SMITH, who edited the Bar Harbor Record last summer, is said to be the only editor who succeeded in procuring an interview with Mr. Blaine"" (1).
In 1893, Helen returned to Sullivan Harbor, bought the Bar Harbor Record, and became managing editor of the newspaper (Vandenberg and Shettleworth). In addition, she was manager of the Bar Harbor Press Co., a job printing establishment tied to the Bar Harbor Record. By 1897, Helen was catering to, and making a profit off of, the many wealthy people who flocked to the area during the warm weather by issuing semi-weekly editions of The Society Journal of Mt. Desert Island. Helen retired from the Bar Harbor Record in November of 1904 (Maine Press Association Report, 33). She became publisher of Bar Harbor Life in 1918, continuing in this position for several years. While spending the winter in Boston in 1923, Helen wrote “Jottings from Boston” for The Bangor News. Later that year, she was run over while in Boston and suffered serious injuries. Helen passed away on December 16, 1923, and was buried in Sullivan Harbor’s York Hill Cemetery.

Her family moved to Grafton, Massachusetts when she was less than two years old. Mary Agnes began writing for local papers at age eleven and was editor of The Grafton Herald when she was just sixteen.
After graduating from high school, she taught in the public schools of Grafton and Sutton, Massachusetts for many years Mary Agnes also lectured frequently in her area and acted in home dramas, often as Lady Macbeth She continued writing and was a frequent contributorm although often an anonymous one, to Youth’s Companion and other periodicals
Mary Agnes was one of the earliest members of the New England Woman’s Press Association , attending meetings since 1886, and she served on its Executive Committee. Writing of her career at the time that the New England Woman's Press Association began, she noted that she was a """"regular correspondent of the Boston Globe and with the Associated Press"" (Lord, 23). Some of her colleagues in the New England Woman's Press Association were Estelle M. Hatch, Sallie Joy White, Kate Tannatt Woods, Alice Stone Blackwell, Cora Stuart Wheeler, Helen Maria Winslow, and Lavinia Stella Goodwin, Esther T. Housh, Maud Howe Elliott, and Lucy Stone.
In 1887, Mary Agnes became editor on the Massachusetts Ploughman. As her A Woman of the Century profile notes:
“The position offered her had never been taken by a woman, and, indeed, the work that she did was never attempted previously, for she had the charge of almost the entire journal from the first. A few months after she accepted the position, the proprietor died, and the entire paper was in her hands for six months.”
(A Woman of the Century, p. 86)
Mary Agnes married Frederick Herbert Bishop, a Boston businessman, in 1889, and the couple lived in Wollaston Heights, Massachusetts. She continued her editorial work and was a practical reportorial stenographer. In addition, Mary Agnes still found time to pursue her literary career.
She served as
""toastmistress"" at a New England Press Association tribute to journalist Mary Boyle O'Reilly in 1917. Helen Maria Winslow introduced O'Reilly, who spoke about her journalistic activities during World War I at this Hotel Bellevue event. The next year, she represented the New England Woman's Press Association at a woman's conference in Arkansas.

By 1880, Annie was teaching music. She was married to Thomas W. Sheardown for five years during the 1880s, but the couple separated.
Over the course of her life, Annie studied with several teachers, including C. R. Hayden, Emma Seiler, and George Sweet. Inspired by Seiler's membership in the American Philosophical Society, Annie wrote to the Society's President on November 4, 1891, requesting information about becoming a member.
Annie's April 1892 essay in Werner's Voice Magazine, ""The Philosophy of the Voice in Singing,"" presented several of her ideas about scientific voice study. In addition, she contributed ""The Voice of The Future "" to Volume V (November 1893 - April 1894) of Music: A Monthly Magazine, Devoted to the Art, Science, Technic and Literature of Music. In this essay, Annie advocated for her ideas about studying voice, noting, ""There is no royal road to learning, but good intelligent study may accomplish wonders"" (162). She also praised her mentor, Emma Seiler.
By 1900, Annie was living with her father at 400 Franklin Street in Norwich, Connecticut and teaching music.

She attended Alfred University and became a teacher in Smethport, Pennsylvania. Next, Cora Belle attended Northwestern University, where she decided to change career paths and went into business as a purchasing agent. A few years later, when she moved to Baltimore, Cora Belle began the study of medicine that led her to become a doctor. After starting at the Medical College for Women in Baltimore, she decided to move to Boston to study at The College of Physicians and Surgeons. Her training also included a stint at Bellevue Hospital in New York City.
As Dr. Cora Belle began her medical career in the mid-1880s, she established a joint practice in Baltimore with her sister Dr. Flora A. Brewster, another woman in A Woman of the Century. At the end of that decade, they published the Baltimore Family Health Journal, which later became The Homeopathic Advocate and Health Journal. In 1890, she became a gynecological surgeon at the new Maryland Homeopathic Hospital and Free Dispensary.
When Cora Belle spoke about ""Heredity"" at the 1895 Congress of Professional Women in Atlanta, The Alexandria Gazette published many quotes from her address.
By 1899, her sanitarium was at 1027 Madison Avenue in Baltimore. The next June, she was in Washington, D.C. presenting a paper about ""Reflex Ovarian Pain"" at the annual conference of The American Institute of Homeopathy.

In addition to her medical work, Flora was a public speaker, an author, a suffragist, a political elector, and a philanthropist.

In 1891, The Magazine of Poetry published 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 A Woman of the Century.
Commenting on Alice's work, Fetch added:
""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.""
Two years later, the same periodical published her poem ""At His Gate.""
She also served as one of the many contributors to A Woman of the Century.
By 1903, Alice was writing for The Rosary, a periodical tied to her Catholic faith.

As her A Woman of the Century profile explains, once Edwin was proprietor of the News and Sentinel, Alma spent her days at the paper. When her husband passed away in 1887, Alma took over and became a very successful editor and proprietor.
Writing about Alma in 1895, the Essex County Herald of Guildhall, Vermont noted:
""We called on Mrs. Cummings of the News and Sentinel last Monday, and found her as usual driven with work. Besides her editorial work and printing business she finds time to do some very beautiful painting and embroidery.""
By 1906, Alma's son Harry was part of the team at the Colebrook News and Sentinel.
That she continued her interests in both editorial and handwork is evident from her listings as ""Editor and Conductor"" in the 1910 census and ""Dress Maker"" in the 1920 census.
Alma passed away in Colebrook, New Hampshire on January 13, 1926, and was buried in Colebrook Village Cemetery.

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 “The New York School Journal.”
Also interested in writing for children, Emma penned “Pieces to Speak.” Lee and Shepard of Boston published this book which received praise from The Morning Call of San Francisco. Similarly, The New Haven Daily Morning Carrier Journal gave a positive review to Emma's The Gregory Guards, 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.""
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 A Woman of the Century 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.
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 The American Issue. Emma published her last book, Knotty Problems Regarding Moderate Drinking, in 1935. She passed away in Boston two years later and was buried in Clifton Park Baptist Cemetery, Clifton Park, New York.

She and her husband, also a doctor, moved to San Diego and practiced there. In a 2016 article, a descendant described Charlotte as ""the first female M.D. in San Diego, who was well known for delivering over 1,000 babies."" Dr. Baker, a parent of two, had a keen interest in the idea of parents having equal participation in child-raising.
In addition to spending her time with patients and raising her family, Charlotte was active in a variety of professional activities. She was elected president of the San Diego County Medical Society in 1898 and was a member of the Southern California Anti-Tuberculosis League
Dedicated to reform, Charlotte was a member of the WCTU and advocated for women's causes. As her profile notes, ""Dr. Baker has always identified herself with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and with all other movements for the advancement of women individually, socially, and politically"" (46).
Charlotte played a prominent role in the California Equal Suffrage Association and the San Diego Equal Suffrage Association. In addition, she was a member of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, the Woman’s Parliament of Southern California, and the Y.W.C.A. of the Southwest,
Since she loved to travel, Charlotte sometimes returned to Massachusetts to visit family members. She and Fred were avid bug collectors, and in October of 1913, they went on a bug collecting trip around the world. When they returned, she continued her medical career and her pursuit of equal suffrage.

Her A Woman of the Century profile notes the important roles that being raised in a home with books and a mother who encouraged writing played in setting Alice on the road to a writing career. In addition to being a prolific writer, Alice also devoted much time to being a mother and wife.
One of her passions was her work with women's clubs. In 1910, The Guthrie Daily Leader commented on Alice's club work, noted her husband's reaction to hearing about it, and praised her writing:
""Has A Thoughtful Husband.
Mrs. Alice Williams Brotherton, who is prominent as a club woman in Cincinnati, says that her husband declared that he was willing to hear clubs talked three times a day at meals, but he drew the line at curtain lectures on the subject. Mrs. Brotherton is a successful writer and has made quite a reputation as a poet.""
Alice's work was published in periodicals such as Aldine, Atlantic Monthly, Century, Independent, Magazine of Poetry, New England Magazine, Scribner's Monthly, and St. Nicholas.
She passed away on February 9, 1930, and was buried in Cincinnati's Spring Grove Cemetery.

""Mrs. Rhoda Holmes Nicholls holds a high place in the front ranks of the lady artists of New York. She has a large house on 50th street, which she has arranged her work, and here holds her classes. She is one of the cleverst painters in New York.""
