Notes
Add additional information about the woman in this box.
Anna's mother passed when she was three years old.
Also, Anna was a progressive woman for her time who succeeded in a genre dominated by male writers but she was opposed to women's suffrage and she did not approve of many of her feminist contemporaries.
Furthermore, Anna had an early ambition to write romantic novels and poetry at the beginning of her career, but when her poetry failed to gain recognition countless times, she shifted to another genre and returned permanently to detective fiction genre from then on.

An account of the resource
Anna Katharine Green, Rohlfs was born in Brooklyn, NY to James Wilson Green and Catharine Ann Whitney on November 11, 1846.

Mrs. Rohlfs and her husband raised three children; a daughter, Rosamund, and two sons, Sterling and Roland in Buffalo, NY. </span><br /><br />Anna became a popular author and novelist.

Her most famous detective novels include her first novel, which has been regarded as the first American detective novel, The Leavenworth Case (1878) and Marked "Personal" (1893).</span> Other popular works of hers include, The Defense of the Bride and other poem<em>s</em>, Risifi’s Daughter <span>The Sword of Damocles" (1881), "Hand and Ring" (1883), "X. Y. Z." (1883), "A Strange Disappearance "(1885), "The Mill Mystery" (1886), "7 to 12" (1887), "Behind Closed Doors" (1888). "The Forsaken Inn" (1890). "A Matter of Millions" (1890), "The Old Stone House" (1891), "Cynthia Wakeham's Money" (1892). </span><br /><br /><br />She passed away on April 11, 1935 at her home in Buffalo. <br /><br /><br />

Description
An account of the resource
<span>Charity Rusk Craig was born in Portersville, OH, on December 20, 1849, the eldest of three children of Jeremiah M. Rusk and Mary Elizabeth Martin. Her parents moved to Wisconsin with their family when Charity was three years old, and she lost her mother when she was five years old. Her father remarried soon after, and Charity eventually had four additional siblings. After attending a Catholic school for one year, the teenage Charity attended private school before graduating from The University of Wisconsin.</span><br /><br /><span>She was passionate about gaining knowledge and was a lifelong learner. As Charity's 1893 </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> </span><a href="https://archive.org/stream/bub_gb_zXEEAAAAYAAJ#page/n217/mode/1up/search/craig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile</a><span> noted, "she has had systematic studies every year since she left school." When her father was elected as a Republican Congressman in 1870, Charity and her family moved to Washington, D.C., and she continued her studies there.</span><br /><br /><span>Charity married Elmer Horace Craig, who shared her love of the Classics, in 1875. Between 1876 and 1890, they became the parents of six children. </span><br /><br /><span>While living in Viroqua, Wisconsin, Charity participated in philanthropic and women's activities. She became a leader of the regional, then state, and finally national chapters of the Woman's Relief Corps. Charity was part of the Executive Board National Council by 1887, was elected </span><a href="https://womansreliefcorps.org/index.php/history/presidential-gallery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President</a><span> the next September, and served in that capacity for a year. Two of her many colleagues were Kate Brownlee Sherwood and Annie Turner Wittenmyer. </span><br /><br /><span>During the mid-1890s, Charity was instrumental in fundraising for the National Relief Corps Home in Madison, Wisconsin. As </span><em>The National Tribune</em><span> noted on May 10, 1894, in an</span><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/exhibits/show/wocbirthplaces/item/The%20National%20tribune.%20(Washington,%20D.C.),%20May%2010,%201894,%20Page%206,%20Image%206" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span> </span>article that detailed her efforts</a><span>,"Past National President Charity Rusk Craig, a woman of practical sense and ready resources, has inaugurated a movement to put the National Relief Corps Home on solid footing, and give it an assured and steady income." </span><br /><br /><span>In addition to her work for the National Relief Corps Home, Charity served on the </span><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/exhibits/show/wocbirthplaces/item/Watertown%20republican.%20(Watertown,%20Wis.),%20April%2008,%201896,%20Image%204" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Woman's Auxiliary Board</a><span> for the Wisconsin semi-centennial in April of 1896.</span><br /><br /><span>Later that year, due to Elmer's health issues, the family left Wisconsin and moved to the exquisite Queen Anne </span><a href="https://www.lion-rose.com/about#history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">home</a><span> they had built in Asheville, North Carolina.

Charity sold her home in 1913 and moved to nearby Skyland, North Carolina, where she passed away on November 11 of that year.

Description
An account of the resource
<span>Stella A. Gaines Fifield was born in Paw Paw, Michigan on June 1, 1845. </span><span>She later lived in Taylor Falls, Minnesota and graduated from Chicago Seminary, Minnesota. </span><br /><br /><span>Early in her career, Stella was a teacher in Osceola WI, but she made her major mark in journalism. After marrying newspaper editor Samuel S. Fifield and starting a family, Stella wrote for <em>The Polk County Press</em>, a paper he edited. She also contributed to his next newspaper, <em>The Bayfield Press</em>. </span><span>In 1871,</span><em> </em><span>Samuel and Stella were two of the original settlers of Ashland, Wisconsin. When <em>The Bayfield Press</em> became </span><em>The Ashland Press</em><span> in 1872, Stella was affiliated with this paper.

Samuel became postmaster and was involved in politics. In 1881, he became Lieutenant Governor. Stella served as a leader in the Ashland Chapter of the Chippewa Presbytery and was active in various charitable associations. </span><br /><br /><span>Stella and Sam established a camping resort, Camp Stella, on Sand Island in 1886. As Jane Celia Busch explains:</span><br /><br /><span>"Sam Fifield and his wife Stella began to camp on Sand Island in 1881....In 1886 they camped on the property which became Camp Stella, and soon after they purchased the property and began developing a permanent camp. While the Fifields sought relief on Sand Island for Stella's hay fever, their camping vacations were part of a popular trend...Organized, communal camps such as Camp Stella offered a more civilized camping experience, with hired help to do the work and other guests to share in recreational activities...It was an affluent, often prominent, clientele....Sam Fifield's yacht <em>Stella</em> was used for transportation from the mainland and for pleasure cruises around the islands" (310-311).</span><br /><br /><span>The Fifields also enjoyed trips with others. In August of 1890, along with Sam and other members of the Wisconsin Press Association, Stella boarded a Pullman sleeper car on the Northern Pacific Railroad for a </span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85033078/1890-08-14/ed-1/seq-1/#date1=1789&index=1&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Fifield+Mrs+Sam&proxdistance=5&date2=1963&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Mrs.+Sam+Fifield&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trip</a><span> to Yellowstone National Park. </span><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19176" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ella A.

Jennie Casseday was born in Louisville, KY on June 9, 1840.
Description
An account of the resource
<p>Jennie Casseday, who was born in Louisville, Kentucky on June 9, 1840, was injured as a young woman. As a result, she was bedridden for most of her life. Determined to brighten the lives of others in her situation, she created the Louisville Flower Mission. </p>
<p>During the early years of the Flower Mission, Jennie was contacted by the Harper Brothers, successful New York publishers, to write about her Flower Mission for<em> Harper's Young People</em>. Responding to the publishers, Jennie wrote: </p>
<p>"The mission of flowers has such possibilities, such deep meaning, so much cheer and brightness for the sick, the aged, the poor, the shut-ins, and for the missionaries themselves, that I find my heart bounding with gladness at tne new avenue you have opened for its enlargement"(<a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433082405162;view=1up;seq=30" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Duncan</a>, 22). <br /><br />Word spread about Jennie's mission, and <a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frances Willard</a> asked Jennie to be the founder of the WCTU's National Flower Mission. Her National and Annual Flower Mission Day, an event on her birthday, June 9, which resulted in flowers in the cells of prisoners throughout the country, continued even after Jennie's death on February 8, 1893.</p>
<p>In addition, Jennie organized the Shut-In Band, a community of people who, like her, were invalids, and provided a way for them to communicate through the periodical <em>Open Window</em>. <br /><br />She also supported the Louisville Training School for Nurses and the Rest Cottage "for tired girls and women who have to support themselves" (161), and established a Louisville chapter of the Order of King's Daughters (Duncan, 43). </p>
