BLACKWELL, Miss Elizabeth
<span>Elizabeth Blackwell, who was born in Bristol, England, on February 3, 1821, became one of the first women physicians in the United States. She persisted in applying to various medical schools as her applications were rejected because she was a woman. Geneva College accepted her application though the administration thought it was a "joke" that a woman applied in 1847.</span><br /><br /><span>She advocated for herself to be treated as an equal to her male colleagues when participating in the Reproductive Anatomy class, which made the male students uncomfortable. Furthermore, by her attentive and thorough note-taking skills, Miss Blackwell proved she was able to understand the information being presented in her courses.</span><br /><br /><span>During her Spring and Summer breaks from medical school, Elizabeth observed how the poorest of the poor and the insane were treated at the Blockney Almshouse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the male physicians wanted nothing to do with her because she was a woman.</span><br /><br /><span>Miss Blackwell wrote her thesis, "Ship Fever," (Typhus) based upon the Irish Immigrants who were severely ill on the ships coming from Ireland to America. It was published in the </span><em>Buffalo Medical Journal</em><span> in February 1849, and Miss Blackwell graduated with her medical degree a few months later.</span><br /><br /><span>Elizabeth developed the first hospital dedicated to women, The New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, in 1853. This endeavor was supported by donations and successful fundraising, after Elizabeth was denied the opportunity to rent office space for her medical practice due to her gender. Her sister, Emily Blackwell, the third woman physician in the United States, worked alongside Elizabeth. They were accompanied in their work by female medical students and two female nurses.</span><br /><br /><span>In 1855, she adopted a seven year old girl, Katherine, known as "Kitty," from the Randall's Island Orphanage. Elizabeth felt that her "little orphan" Kitty lifted her spirits after she had felt lonely and isolated living in New York. Kitty was also Elizabeth's secretary as she conducted the detailed correspondence with her mother that became part of the </span><a href="https://www.loc.gov/collections/blackwell-family-papers/?fa=partof:blackwell+family+papers%7Cpartof:blackwell+family+papers:+elizabeth+blackwell+papers,+1836-1946" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabeth Blackwell Papers</a><span>.</span><br /><br /><span>Miss Blackwell's dream to open a Women's Medical College of the New York Infirmary became a reality in 1868, as the New York State Legislature granted her a charter to do so. Miss Blackwell believed firmly that it was one thing to open a poor college with charity, but more important to open a great college for women medical students that would provide professional skills, hospital practice, and the introduction of hygiene. At the college, female medical students engaged in a progressive succession of studies, the first of its kind for medical training for women.</span><br /><br /><span>Miss Blackwell retired from her medical practice. She spent the rest of her later years in Hastings, England, as a consultant and advocate for women in medicine.</span><br /><br /><span>Elizabeth died on May 31, 1910.</span>

LAZARUS, Miss Emma
<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>

BATES, Mrs. Clara Doty
Clara Doty Bates was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan on December 22, 1838. A writer from an early age, Clara attended private schools. She married Morgan Bates, a newspaperman, in 1876 and the couple moved to Chicago, Illinois.<br /><br />A well-known writer of juvenile literature, Clara published several books under the imprint of Boston's D. Lothrop & Company. From its beginnings in 1875, she was a frequent contributor to <em>Wide Awake</em>, a children's periodical that was published by that firm. Her sister, Charlotte Doty Finley, was the illustrator for Clara's poem "Silver Locks and the Bears" in the December 1875 volume. Clara's poems also appeared in <em>Babyland</em>,<em>Harper's Young People</em>, <em>St. Nicholas</em>, and <em>Youth's Companion, </em>and<em> Farm, Field, and Firesode.<br /><br /></em>In addiiton to publishing her own work and contributing to periodicals, Clara contributed "LIT-TLE TO-TOTE" to an edited volume, <span><em>Baby World: Stories, Rhymes, and Pictures for Little Folks</em>. (Century, 1884).<br /></span><br />While living in Chicago, Clara was vice-president of the Fortnightly women's literary club. She also was very involved with the Woman's Branch of the World's Congress Auxiliary. During the early 1890s, Clara was a contributor to <em>A Woman of the Century</em>. She was very involed with the Columbian Exposition and arranged the <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85042461/1893-07-02/ed-1/seq-12/#date1=1777&sort=date&date2=1963&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=16&words=Bates+Clara+Doty&proxdistance=5&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Clara+Doty+Bates&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">children's library</a> with Alice L.

In July of 1893, she spoke at the <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84036276/1893-07-22/ed-1/seq-1/#date1=1777&sort=date&date2=1963&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=1&words=Bates+Clara+Doty&proxdistance=5&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Clara+Doty+Bates&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=22" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Educational Congress</a> in Chicago. <br /><br />She passed away in Chicago on October 14, 1895, at age fifty-six, and was buried in Ann Arbor's Forest Hills Cemetery. Clara's friend Elia W. 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.

PERRY, Miss Nora
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.

<span>Author Abba Louise Goold Woolson was born on her family compound in Windham, Maine, on April 30, 1838. She was the daughter of author and Maine historian William Goold. Her family had long-established roots in Maine and resided in Windham for several generations.</span><br /><br /><span>Abba received an education from the Portland public schools and attended the Girls' High School. She graduated from the Girls' High School as valedictorian in 1856. This year would prove to be exciting for Abba as it was also the year she married her high school principal, Professor Moses Woolson, and was first published in New York's </span><em>Home Journal</em><span>.</span><br /><br /><span>While living in Portland, Maine, Abba went on to start a successful and robust career as an author. She penned a series of popular poems for the </span><em>Portland Transcript</em><span>, a publication she contributed to for four years. Through the course of her writing career, she published dozens of essays, lectures, poems, and collections. In 1874, Abba edited and contributed to "Dress Reform," a series of lectures by women physicians of Boston on "Dress as It Effects the Health of Women." The lectures were originally delivered in the prior year as part of a dress-reform series sponsored by the New England Women’s Club. In this work, Abba amplified the voices of physicians speaking out against impractical dress.</span><br /><br /><span>Through her work as a teacher, she passed down her writing skills and wisdom. Abba was a teacher at the Mt. Auburn Girls' School and the Concord High School. Her talent as a poet led to several speaking engagements, including Portland's celebration of the Maine Centennial and the dedication of the Fowler Library in Concord, New Hampshire. Being one of New England's premier writers, it's no surprise that Abba served in many literary groups and societies. Her most notable commitments were serving as president of the Castilian Club and the Massachusetts Society for the University Education of Women.</span><br /><br /><span>Aside from her devotion to writing, teaching, and reform, Abba traveled extensively. Her travels included visiting the West Coast of the United States, Europe, and Morocco.</span><br /><br /><span>Abba passed away on February 6, 1921, at the age of 82.</span>

DALL, Mrs. Caroline Wells
<p dir="ltr"><span>Caroline Wells Dall was born in Boston, Massachusetts on June 22, 1822. Her parents, Mark Healey and Caroline Foster, provided her with an exclusive education, consisting of private tutoring and private schooling, until she was 15 years old. From 1837 to 1842, she administered a nursery in the North End of Boston. In 1842, Caroline began teaching at Georgetown Female Seminary, where she met Unitarian minister Charles Dall, whom she would marry in 1844. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Once married, Caroline was increasingly involved in women’s suffrage causes. A gifted and prolific writer, reformer, and activist, she became a staunch advocate for women’s rights. Caroline and Charles lived in Toronto in the early 1850s. By 1855, Charles Dall had traveled alone to India to work as a Unitarian missionary, returning only once to America before his death in 1886.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>For many years, Caroline was actively involved in the Boston women’s rights movement. One of her many important books, <em>The College, the Market, and the Court</em> (1867), based on a series of lectures she gave in Boston in 1861-1862, is a collection of essays about women’s rights, education, economic advancement, and protection under the law. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Her other publications include <em>Historical Pictures Retouched: a Volume of Miscellanies</em> (1859), in which she discusses lesser-known important women from history, <em>Essays and Sketches </em>(1849), and <a href="https://archive.org/details/womansrightsunde00dall/page/n5/mode/1up" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Women's Rights Under the Law: In Three Lectures, Delivered in Boston, January, 1861</em></a> (1862).</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>In 1865, Dall helped found the American Social Science Association. Along with suffragist Paulina Davis, Caroline Dall founded both the New England Women’s Rights Convention and <em>Una</em>, a journal devoted to advocating for women’s rights. Because of these activities, she is often associated with fellow activist, Transcendentalist, and journalist Margaret Fuller regarding their advocacy for the advancement of women.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Later in life, Caroline distanced herself from the women’s rights movement and published such eclectic and diverse works as Egypt (<em>Egypt's Place in History</em> 1868), the Civil War (<em>Patty Gray's Journey</em>, three volumes for children, 1869–70), and <em>What We Really Know About Shakespeare</em> (1885), <em>The Life of Dr. Anandabai Joshee</em> (1888), <a href="https://archive.org/details/margaretherfrien00dall" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Margaret and Her Friends: Ten Conversations with Margaret Fuller</em></a> (1895), and <em>Transcendentalism in New England</em> (1897). In her 70s, she continued lecturing and giving sermons at the Unitarian Church.<br /><br />After several years of suffering from arthritis, Caroline died of pneumonia on December 17, 1912, at the age of 90.</span></p>

SEDGWICK, Miss Catharine Maria
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Born in Stockbridge, MA, Catharine Maria Sedgwick was the sixth of the seven surviving children of Theodore Sedgwick and Pamela Dwight Sedgwick. Catharine’s mother was ill for most of her childhood and died when Catharine was seventeen.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> A year later, her father remarried Penelope Russell. For most of Catharine’s childhood, her father was away from home for more than half of each year pursuing a political career with six terms in the Continental Congress, U.S. House of Representatives, Speaker of the House, Senator from Massachusetts, and a Massachusetts Supreme Court Justice,</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and then passed away in 1813 when Catharine was twenty-three.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although Catharine did not go to college, she considered herself to have been raised in a highly intellectual home:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"I was reared in an atmosphere of high intelligence. My father had uncommon mental vigor. So had my brothers. Their daily habits, and pursuits, and pleasures were intellectual, and I naturally imbibed from them a kindred taste" <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89098008162&view=2up&seq=278"><i>(Life and Letters of Catharine M. Sedgwick: </i>46-47)</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When she was ten, Catharine could be found during her school lunch hour under her desk munching and reading Rollins’s </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ancient History.</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> While her four brothers followed in their father’s footsteps and became lawyers, they encouraged Catharine to pursue her writing, and she published her first book at age thirty-three.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Professionally, Catharine went on to become a successful and prolific author on a wide variety of topics in six novels, over one-hundred short stories and sketches, as well as domestic novellas, advice manuals, biographies, religious tracts, travelogues, and children’s books.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> She is considered to be one of the founders of American literature and enjoyed national and international renown during her lifetime. It is noteworthy that Catharine and Martha Washington were the only women selected for inclusion in the first volume of the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">National Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Americans</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The indefatigable Catharine continued to write for forty years publishing her last piece at the age of seventy-two.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Catharine also taught at her sister-in-law’s Young Ladies’ School in Lenox, MA and various Sunday schools, including the Isaac T. Hopper Home.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> In her later years, she volunteered for the Female Department of the New York Prison Association (becoming president from 1848 to 1863), which led to her opening the Home for Discharged Female Convicts.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Personally, Catharine chose to become a member of her siblings’ households instead of marrying various suitors.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> For most of her life, she lived and worked in New York City and Stockbridge/Lenox, MA and traveled throughout North America and Europe.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> She also participated in the Berkshire’s literary society and received visits from authors, politicians, activists, and renowned international figures.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Catharine passed away in 1867 at the home of her niece in West Roxbury at the age of seventy-seven.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> She was remembered as a “true and beautiful soul, a clear and refined intellect, and a singularly sympathetic social nature”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (<a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89098008162&view=2up&seq=278"><i>Life and Letters of Catharine M. Sedgwick: </i>10)</a> with “clear good sense, and graced by a charm of style of which she was the master during her whole life”:</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Her unerring sense of rectitude, her love of truth, her ready sympathy, her active and cheerful beneficence, her winning and gracious manners, the perfection of high breeding, make up a character, the idea of which, as it rests on my mind, I would not exchange for any thing in her own interesting works of fiction" (<a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89098008162&view=2up&seq=278"><i>Life and Letters of Catharine M. Sedgwick:</i> 446).</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Catharine was buried in the family plot in Stockbridge next to her beloved nurse, Elizabeth (“Mum-Bett”)</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Freeman. (</span><a href="https://www.masshist.org/database/viewer.php?item_id=547&pid=15"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Massachusetts Historical Society Collections Online: Witness to America’s Past Description</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">; </span><a href="https://elizabethfreeman.mumbet.com/sedgwick-family/sedgwick-pie/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sedgwick Pie)</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mum-Bett had been the first freed slave in Massachusetts who thereafter earned a living by working in the home of her attorney, Catharine’s father, and became an important mother figure to the family before her father remarried in 1808 (</span><a href="https://www.masshist.org/database/viewer.php?item_id=547&pid=15"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Massachusetts Historical Society Collections Online: Witness to America’s Past Description</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">; </span><a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/_/vZlvgas5yWcC?hl=en&gbpv=0"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lucinda L.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Catharine had used her gift with words to memorialized Mum-Bett’s noble life in her article “Slavery in New England” in 1853 (</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Bentley_s_Miscellany/8-ARAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0">Miss Sedgewick [sic], “Slavery in New England,” in XXXIV <i>Bentley’s Miscellany</i> at 417, 424 (1853)).</a> Five years after Catharine’s death, Harper & Brothers would do the same for Catharine by publishing a book entitled the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Life and Letters of Catharine M. Sedgwick</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which was edited by her life-long neighbor, Mary E.

<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>

WILLARD, Mrs. Allie C.
<span>Alice "Allie" C. Rosseter Willard was born on April 13, 1860, near Nauvoo, Illinois. 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.</span><br /><br /><span>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, </span><em>The Loup City Times,<span> </span></em><span>writing editorials and articles. </span><br /><br /><span>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</span><em><span> </span>The Loup City Times</em><span>. 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.</span><br /><br /><span>In addition, Allie was active with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, advocated for other reforms, and participated in philanthropic work.</span><br /><br /><span>After meeting many people during her travels abroad, Allie became associated with </span><em>The London Signal</em><span>,</span><span> owned by Lady Henry Somerset, in 1895.</span><br /><br /><span>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.</span><br /><br /><span>Her "</span><a href="https://archive.org/details/ourownladysketch00will/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Our Own Lady"<span> </span></em></a><span>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 <em>our</em> own lady." Bertha Elizabeth Duppler Baur was a successful businesswoman, political activist, and suffrage advocate who was living in Chicago at the time.</span><br /><br /><span>Allie passed away in Chicago on September 12, 1936.</span>

BAILEY, Mrs. Lepha Eliza
<span>Author, lecturer, and reformer Lepha Eliza Bailey was born in Battle Creek, Michigan on January 21, 1841. She began her writing career by contributing to newspapers. Lepha married Lewis Bailey in 1873 and started a family. They lived in Battle Creek for many years.</span><br /><br /><span>Lepha edited </span><em>Our Age</em><span> and was a contributor to </span><em>Grange Visitor</em><span>. She was a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Sovereigns of Industry, Independent Order of Good Templars, Grangers, National Prohibition Alliance, and the Prohibition Party.</span><br /><br /><span>Beginning in the 1880s, Lepha spoke around the United States on temperance. In January of 1901, when she was living in New York City and was scheduled to speak in Johnson City, Tennessee, that city's </span><em><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn89058128/1901-01-17/ed-1/seq-3/#date1=1870&sort=date&date2=1924&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=13&words=Bailey+E+L+Mrs+temperance&proxdistance=5&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=Bailey+temperance&phrasetext=Mrs.+L.+E.+Bailey&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Comet</a></em><span> described Lepha as the National Organizer for the W.C.T.U., praised her achievements, mentioned her work with Frances Willard, and listed positive comments from other newspapers. The article finished by noting, "If you fail to hear this noted speaker you will miss a rare opportunity." Later that year, Rev. C. E. Scudder praised her work in Pennsylvania at length in </span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn87080417/1901-06-14/ed-1/seq-2/#date1=1870&sort=date&date2=1924&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=14&words=Bailey+E+L+Mrs+temperance+Temperance&proxdistance=5&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=Bailey+temperance&phrasetext=Mrs.+L.+E.+Bailey&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Pike County Press</em></a><span>. Scudder wrote:</span><br /><br /><span>"One could hardly conceive how a human being could put forth such untiring efforts, speaking in colleges and public schools, and holding ladies' parlor meetings during the day, traveling and speaking to crowded houses, frequently so full that standing room was impossible. Yet her brain never seemed to weary while dwelling upon the all absorbing theme, the crushing out of the liquor traffic. Her clearness of thought as regards methods, her kindly, though energetic, forcible language, so convincing, won many, to action and duty. May God send more such lecturers into the whitened field."</span><br /><span> </span><br /><span>When Lepha and her daughter Viola visited her son Victor and his family in Caribou, Minnesota during the first decade of the twentieth century, she </span><a href="http://kittsonhistorian.ning.com/group/churchesofkittsoncounty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">learned that the area lacked a church and Sunday school.</a><span> Lepha purchased land to summer there, and church services were held on her property. Eventually, she had a church built on the property.</span><br /><br /><span>By 1920, Lepha was living with her daughter Viola in Lake Worth, Palm Beach, Florida.

VERY, Miss Lydia Louisa Anna
<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>In <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=chi.097959478;view=1up;seq=266;size=125">December of 1841</a>, Lydia began teaching at Mason Street Public School in Salem, and by <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uiuo.ark:/13960/t5hb1st4v;view=1up;seq=178">1860</a>, she was serving as principal. She continued in this capacity until the end of the 1871-1872 academic year, The next school year, she became principal of<a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=chi.097959478;view=1up;seq=399"> Dunlap Street School.</a></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>

McCULLOCH, Mrs. Catharine Waugh

She graduated from Rockford Female Seminary, earning both a bachelor's degree and master's degree, and attended Union College of Law.<br /><br />A temperance advocate from an early age, Catharine was a member of the Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Also passionate about suffrage, she <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn90059522/1887-12-07/ed-1/seq-7/#date1=1777&sort=date&date2=1963&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=0&words=Catharine+Waugh&proxdistance=5&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Catharine+Waugh+&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed out</a> a pro-suffrage speech to counter the anti-suffrage speech that her town's Presbyterian minister was giving. <br /><br />Catharine practiced law with Frank</span><span> Hathorn McCulloch, a law school classmate whom she married on May 30, 1890, in Winnebago, Illinois. Their firm was known as McCulloch & McCulloch.</span><br /><br /><span>Catharine spoke at many events in support of suffrage.

After praising women from Eve on, she asked her audience to vote on woman suffrage and got a positive result.</span><br /><span></span></p>
<p><span>Catharine was the legal advisor for the National American Woman Suffrage Association, while also serving as an auditor, and later the Vice-President. At the time of the 1912 Presidential campaign, Catharine insisted that the Republican Party would suffer the wrath of the suffragists if suffrage was not included in the platform. </span><br /><br /><span>Later that year, she placed an ad in the </span><em>Rock Island Argus</em><span> that she would pay one dollar for every one hundred signatures collected in support of Illinois suffrage.

She continued her efforts for suffrage for Illinois women in February of 1917, arguing for an amendment, against Grace Wilbur Trout, who believed that a convention alone would suffice. Unfortunately for Catharine, the constitutional convention route was chosen by the time September came.

Catharine continued to speak in Iowa and other states in support of suffrage.</span><br /><br /><span>Once the League of Women Voters was founded in 1919, Catharine was involved with this organization.

Eventually, she got married to Charles Rohlfs, an actor and stove designer who later became an internationally acclaimed furniture designer on<span> November 25, 1884. 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 />

SMITH, Miss Helen Morton
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Helen Morton Smith was born in Sullivan Harbor, Maine, on December 12, 1859. 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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Desiring to become a journalist, she changed her career course. Helen moved to Boston, Massachusetts, and became a reporter for the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bar Harbor Record</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, as the Boston correspondent, and Boston's </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Saturday Evening Gazette. </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">She was an early member of the</span><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/179"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> New England Woman's Press Association</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, serving as the recording secretary until April of 1891. (Lord, 54) At that time, she returned to Maine to become managing editor of the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bar Harbor Record</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, but her tenure there came to an end when the new owner fired her. She moved back to Boston and wrote for the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boston Home Journal </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">(Vandenberg and Shettleworth)</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Helen was a determined journalist. As the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Savannah Courier </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">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).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 1893, Helen returned to Sullivan Harbor, bought the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bar Harbor Record,</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 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 </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bar Harbor Record.</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 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 </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The</span></i> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Society Journal of Mt. Desert Island. </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Helen retired from the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bar Harbor Record</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in November of 1904 (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Maine Press Association Report</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, 33). She became publisher of <em>Bar Harbor Life</em> in 1918, continuing in this position for several years. While spending the winter in Boston in 1923, Helen wrote “Jottings from Boston” for <em>The Bangor News</em>. 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.</span></p>

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>. Others noted included local lawyer Clara Shortridge Foltz, <a href="http://www.marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/64" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Myra Bradwell</a>, Ellen A. Martin, Kate Pier, Ada Miser Kepley, Ella Humphrey Haddock, and Cornelia Hood.<br /><br />On March 21, 1900, <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84036207/1900-03-21/ed-1/seq-3/#date1=1870&sort=date&date2=1943&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=4&words=Blanche+Fearing&proxdistance=5&state=&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Blanche+Fearing&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Western News</em></a> dedicated an article, "Blind From Infancy: This Girl is Now Widely Known as a Writer and Lawyer." 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.

BISHOP, Mrs. Mary Agnes Dalrymple
Mary Agnes Dalyrmple Bishop was born in Springfield, Massachusetts on August 12, 1857. 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 <em>The Grafton Herald</em> when she was just sixteen. <br /><br />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 <em>Youth’s Companion</em> and other periodicals<br /><br />Mary Agnes was one of the earliest members of the <a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/179" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New England Woman’s Press Association</a> , 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 <em>Boston Globe</em> 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, <a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/45">Alice Stone Blackwell</a>, Cora Stuart Wheeler, Helen Maria Winslow, and Lavinia Stella Goodwin, Esther T. Housh, Maud Howe Elliott, and <a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/43" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lucy Stone</a>.<br /><br />In 1887, Mary Agnes became editor on the <em>Massachusetts Ploughman</em>. As her A Woman of the Century profile notes:<br /><br />
<div>“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.” <em>(<a href="https://archive.org/stream/bub_gb_zXEEAAAAYAAJ#page/n90/mode/1up/search/Bishop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Woman of the Century,</a></em><a href="https://archive.org/stream/bub_gb_zXEEAAAAYAAJ#page/n90/mode/1up/search/Bishop" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> p. 86)<br /><br /></a><br />
<div>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.<br /><br />She served as <a href="The%20Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.), April 19, 1917, Page 7, Image 7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"toastmistress"</a> 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.</div>

SHEARDOWN, Mrs. Annie Fillmore
<span>Annie Fillmore Sheardown, daughter of John and Olma J. Burdick, was born in Franklin, Connecticut on June 8, 1856, and spent her youth living in Franklin and Norwich, Connecticut. Passionate about music, she began lessons at a very early age. By 1880, Annie was teaching music. She was married to Thomas W. Sheardown for five years during the 1880s, but the couple separated.</span><br /><br /><span>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 </span><a href="https://diglib.amphilsoc.org/islandora/object/annie-fillmore-sheardown-president-aps#page/1/mode/1up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">November 4, 1891</a><span>, requesting information about becoming a member.</span><br /><br /><span>Annie's April 1892 essay in </span><em>Werner's Voice Magazine,</em><span> "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 </span><em>Music: A Monthly Magazine, Devoted to the Art, Science, Technic and Literature of Music.</em><span> 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.</span><br /><br /><span>By 1900, Annie was living with her father at 400 Franklin Street in Norwich, Connecticut and teaching music. She passed away on December 6, 1904, and was buried in Norwich's Yantic Cemetery.</span>

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>

STOCKER, Miss Corinne
<p><span>Elocutionist and journalist Corinne Stocker was born in Orangeburg, South Carolina on August 21, 1871, but she lived most of her life in Atlanta, Georgia. She was an extremely intelligent and talented woman. As her </span><em>A Woman of the Century </em><span> </span><a href="https://archive.org/stream/bub_gb_zXEEAAAAYAAJ#page/n693/mode/2up/search/21st+August" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profile</a><span> notes:</span><br /><br /><span>"At an early age Corinne showed a decided histrionic talent. In her ninth year she won the Peabody medal for elocution in the Atlanta schools over competitors aged from eight to twenty-five years. In 1889, she was placed in the Cincinnati College of Music, where she made the most brilliant record in the history of the school, completing a four year course in seven months."</span><br /><br /><span>After graduation, Corinne conducted parlor readings and taught elocution. She was a very popular teacher, but after a year she decided to forge a journalism career and joined the </span><em>Atlanta Journal.</em><br /><br /><span>In March of 1892, when she was just twenty, Corinne's "Field of Woman's Work" was published in </span><em>Atlanta Journa</em><span><em>l</em> and then reprinted in </span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn93067777/1892-03-16/ed-1/seq-4/#date1=1789&index=6&rows=20&words=Corinne+Stocker&searchType=basic&sequence=0&state=&date2=1924&proxtext=Corinne+Stocker&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Herald and News</em></a><span>.</span><br /><br /><span>She was a member of the Governing Board of the Georgia Women's Press Club, where her colleagues included Leonora Beck and Ellen J.

Horton, another South Carolina native who had become managing editor of the </span><em>Atlanta Journa</em><span>l in late 1894, at St. Luke's Church in Atlanta. The couple lived in Atlanta until they moved to New York City in late 1897. The </span><em>Anderson Intelligencer</em><span> of </span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84026965/1897-10-20/ed-1/seq-5/#date1=1789&index=7&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Horton+Mrs+Thaddeus&proxdistance=5&date2=1963&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Mrs.+Thaddeus+Horton&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">October 20, 1897,</a><span> noted the </span><em>Atlanta Journal'</em><span>s piece about their move:</span><br /><br /><span>"Mr. and Mrs. Thaddeus Horton have scores of friends who will read with mingled emotions of interest, congratulations and regret that they leave soon to make their home in New York. Mrs. Horton has lived in Atlanta all her life and Mr. Horton for the past seven years; and both have warm friends who hate to see them go, and yet who realize that the going means literary advancement. Mr. Horton has accepted a position on the Times, and Mrs. Horton will pursue her literary work at the great center of things with increased advantage."</span><br /><br /><span>Unfortunately, their life in New York was not as happy as it was anticipated to be. Thad served as political editor of <em>T</em></span><em>he New York Times</em><span> until he died of typhoid fever on November 21, 1899. The next April, Corinne, who had moved back to Atlanta and was living with her mother, gave birth to their daughter, Thaddesia Edgarda. </span><br /><br /><span>While raising her infant in 1900, Corinne </span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88056164/1900-10-19/ed-1/seq-4/#date1=1789&index=0&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Horton+Mrs+Thaddeus&proxdistance=5&date2=1963&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Mrs.+Thaddeus+Horton&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a><span> for the September and October volumes of </span><em>Ladies' Home Journal. </em><span>She continued writing throughout the decade, contributing to </span><em>House Beautiful</em><span> and </span><em>Uncle Remus's Magazine</em><span>.</span><br /><br /><span>In 1909, Corinne founded the Atlanta Players' Club and was in charge of a benefit performance at the Grand Opera House. She also directed a performance of an Oscar Wilde play. Corine continued her writing as well, contributing "Old South in American Architecture" to the </span><em>Uncle Remus's Magazine</em><span> for October, 1909.</span></p>
<p><span>During Theodore Roosevelt’s 1912 Presidential Campaign, Corinne was chair of the “Georgia Moosettes” for Atlanta’s Fifth Congressional District. She and numerous other Georgian women supported Roosevelt’s Progressive platform because they saw it as a positive force for women.</span><br /><br /><span>Corinne was married to Chauncey Smith by 1920, a marriage that lasted until his death in the early 1930s. She lived in Atlanta with her daughter for many years, then she moved to Baldwin in the 1940s. Corinne passed away in Fulton, Georgia on September 11, 1947 and was buried in Atlanta's Crest Lawn Cemetery.</span></p>

<p><span></span><span>Later, while she was living in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1883, Rose was awarded an honorary M.A. degree from Hillsdale College.

FIFIELD, Mrs. Stella A. Gaines
<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. From 1877, when Sam started </span><em>The</em><span> </span><em>Bayfield Press</em><span> again, to 1880, she wrote for both papers. Speaking of Stella, the </span><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=kysEAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA4&lpg=PA4&dq=Stella+Grimes+Fifield&source=bl&ots=hUJrXedO0M&sig=AGu144dTTF1qHn5utKuDpCHvay0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjQgNDsoZjUAhVJ2IMKHV-1CP0Q6AEISDAI#v=onepage&q=Stella%20Grimes%20Fifield&f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Commemorative Biographical Record of the Upper Lake Region</em><span> </span></a><span>noted: "she was and is not only a writer of ability, but was capable of rendering practical assistance in the typographical work of the newspaper office" (4).</span><br /><br /><span>The Fifields lived at Evergreen, a beautiful home in Ashland. 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.

KENDRICK, Mrs. Ella Bagnell
<span>Ella Bagnell Kendrick, a native of Plymouth, Massachusetts, graduated from Plymouth High School when she was just sixteen. After she married, she moved to Meriden, Connecticut and lived in that state for the rest of her life. Having a keen interest in science, she was very involved with the Meriden Scientific Association.</span><br /><br /><span>While her </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> profile heading lists Ella as a temperance reformer, she was involved in many activities and causes. </span><br /><br /><span>Just as she had worked with her husband's business when she lived in Meriden, Ella became associate editor of her husband's periodical, </span><em>New England Home</em><span>, when they settled in Hartford. She utilized her editorial experience in 1899 when she became editor of </span><a href="https://archive.org/details/talkstales6111unse" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Talks and Tales</em></a><span>, "a monthly magazine composed as to text and type entirely by the blind" (</span><em>Evening Star</em><span>,</span><em> </em><span>December 28, 1899).</span><br /><br /><span>An education advocate, Ella wrote to </span><em>Woman's Journal</em><span> in 1896 about the many Connecticut women involved on educational boards in the state.</span><br /><br /><span>Also a supporter of women's rights, she was an active member of the Equal Rights Association and was corresponding secretary of the Connecticut Woman's Suffrage Association. In 1896 and 1897, she was very involved with the movement by the Equal Rights Association to erect a statue in Hartford in honor of Harriet Beecher Stowe.</span><br /><br /><span>Her work for the temperance cause involved being a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and a leader of the Prohibition Party in Meriden, New Haven, and Hartford. She spoke about temperance at the 1907 New Haven County W.C.T.U. meeting and about "Women As Citizens" at the 1922 meeting. In addition, she was Superintendent of the Demorest Medal Contests.</span><br /><br /><span>Ella combined her interests in women's rights and temperance by speaking on 'How to Use the Ballot" at the W.C.T. U. Institute in June, 1916. The</span><em> Norwich Bulletin</em><span> reported: "[s]he gave a most interesting talk, citing instances to show the way it has been used for good in many places."</span><br /><span> </span><br /><span>She also joined with women of her Unitarian faith, being a member of the Connecticut Valley Associate Alliance of Unitarian Women and speaking at its 1922 conference.</span><br /><br /><span>As Ella's </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> profile notes, "She is a woman of active habits and strong character, and she makes her influence felt in any cause that enlists her sympathies" (434).</span>

POST, Mrs. Caroline Lathrop
<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.

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.

HILL, Mrs. Eliza Trask
<span>Eliza </span><span class="il">Trask</span><span> Hill, a native of Warren, Massachusetts, was born on May 10, 1840. Her profile lists her as a woman suffragist and journalist, but she also was a wife, a mother, a teacher, and a supporter of several different causes.</span><br /><br /><span>With a father and grandfather who were ministers and parents who were both active in reform efforts, Eliza was raised in an atmosphere with people who gave back to their communities. She followed their lead early in her life, presenting a flag to the Fifteenth Regiment of Massachusetts and speaking at that event. She also taught for ten years, including time teaching in Pittsburgh, beginning a career of passionate engagement with education. Eliza married John Lange Hill in 1866 and became a mother to three children. </span><br /><br /><span>Despite her domestic responsibilities, Eliza found time to toil for the many causes she believed in. As her </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> profile explains, Eliza "labored earnestly for the redemption of abandoned women, but, believing that preventive is more effectual than reformatory work, she has identified herself with the societies that care for and help the working girls" (380).

COLMAN, Mrs. Lucy Newhall
<p><span>Lucy Newhall Colman, an anti-slavery agitator and woman suffragist, was born in Sturbridge, Massachusetts on July 26, 1817. She married at eighteen and moved to Boston, but her husband died of consumption in 1841. </span><br /><br /><span>She married again two years later and gave birth to a daughter in 1845. Colman began to advocate for equal rights of women and emancipation of the slaves in 1846. In her anti-slavery work, Lucy was associated with William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, and Frederick Douglass.</span></p>
<p>When Mr. Colman, an engineer on the New York Central Railroad, was killed in a railroad accident in 1852, Andrew Jackson Davis presided at his funeral in Rochester, NY. While living in Rochester, Lucy took over the “colored school” to close it, encouraging parents to send their children to district schools.</p>
<p>Lucy lectured in several states about the causes she believed in. In 1857, the<span> </span><em>Anti-Slavery Bugl</em>e of New-Lisbon, Ohio<span> </span><a href="http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83035487/1857-12-26/ed-1/seq-3/#date1=1789&index=2&rows=20&words=COLMAN+LUCY+N&searchType=basic&sequence=0&state=&date2=1924&proxtext=Lucy+N.+Colman&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a><span> </span>her recollections of her travels on behalf of the cause. During the Civil War, the well-connected Lucy Colman arranged and attended a meeting at the White House between Sojourner Truth and President Lincoln.</p>
<p>Susan B. Anthony invited Lucy to read a paper at a state convention of teachers, and Mrs. Colman chose to use this opportunity to advocate for the abolition of corporal punishment in the Rochester schools. </p>
<p><span>Later, Lucy served as matron in the National Colored Orphan Asylum in Washington, D.C. and was appointed teacher of a ”colored school” in Georgetown, D.C. </span></p>
<p><span>Lucy wrote about her life in <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89098876477;view=1up;seq=11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reminiscences</a>, which was published by H. L. Green in 1891. She passed away in Syracuse, New York on January 18, 1906.</span></p>

MCAVOY, Miss Emma
<p><span>Emma McAvoy was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 23, 1841. Author and lecturer are the occupations listed at the beginning of her </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> profile, but Miss McAvoy's career included other professions. </span><br /><br /><span>Like many women of her time, this daughter of an Irish immigrant began her career as a teacher. In April of 1859, Emma was appointed as a <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88077413/1859-04-12/ed-1/seq-3/#date1=1789&index=7&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Emma+McAvoy&proxdistance=5&date2=1917&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Emma+McAvoy&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teacher</a> in Cincinnati's Third District with a salary of twenty dollars. Her salary may have been low because she was hired in April, since she is listed as having earned <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84028745/1860-06-30/ed-1/seq-3/#date1=1789&index=15&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Emma+McAvoy&proxdistance=5&date2=1917&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Emma+McAvoy&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">three hundred dollars </a>the next year. Later, Emma served as a principal in Kansas City, Missouri. </span></p>
<p><span>Upon her return to Cincinnati, Emma began to deliver lectures. Her </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> profile notes: "She was one of the first women who presented parlor lectures on literature in the West" (481). </span><span>On February 11, 1879, </span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85025759/1879-02-11/ed-1/seq-4/#date1=1789&index=1&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Emma+McAvoy&proxdistance=5&date2=1924&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Emma+McAvoy&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Cincinnati Daily Star</em></a><span> advertised one of her upcoming lectures: </span><span>"Miss Emma McAvoy will deliver, at College Hall, on the evening of the 28th of February, an evening lecture on the subject, 'The Ode and Errors in Conversation.'" Other lectures over the next two years were on <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85025759/1878-10-14/ed-1/seq-1/#date1=1789&index=4&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Emma+McAvoy&proxdistance=5&date2=1917&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Emma+McAvoy&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Sonnet, with Hints for Improvement in Conversation,"</a> and <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85025759/1879-11-08/ed-1/seq-5/#date1=1789&index=6&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Emma+McAvoy&proxdistance=5&date2=1917&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Emma+McAvoy&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"The World's Conversationalists."</a> <br /><br />As a popular figure on the lecture circuit, Emma often received praise in the press. For example, a week before her 1884 speech in Omaha, Nebraska, <em><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn99021999/1884-11-18/ed-1/seq-8/#date1=1860&sort=date&date2=1919&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=4&words=lecture+McAvoy&proxdistance=5&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=McAvoy++lecture&phrasetext=&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Omaha Daily Bee</a></em> advertised:<br /><br />"On next Monday evening, November 24th, Miss Emma McAvoy will lecture on the subject, 'Hints for Improvement in Conversation.'

DELETOMBE, Miss Alice S.
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.

CUMMINGS, Mrs. Alma Carrie

HENRY, Mrs. Josephine Kirby Williamson
<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>

BENEDICT, Miss Emma Lee
<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>

FIELD, Mrs. Martha R.
Martha Reinhard Smallwood Field, known as "Mattie," was born in Lexington, MO, but she spent most of her life in New Orleans, LA. "She was the first woman journalist to draw a salary in that city," according to her profile in <em>A Woman of the Century</em> (289)<br /><br />A journalist, author, and travel writer, Field wrote under the pseudonym "Catharine Cole." During her career, she contributed to periodicals in New Orleans and San Francisco and edited the <em>New Orleans Times-Democrat</em>. <br /><br />In the introduction to Field's <em>Catharine Cole's Book</em>, Mollie Evelyn Moore Davis noted Mattie's many contributions to New Orleans: "To the influence of her pen and brains, New Orleans owes its Training School for Nurses, it's Woman's Exchange, and its Kindergartens"(8). Interested in education for all, Mattie also founded a Circulating Library in New Orleans.

DODGE, Miss Hannah Perkins
<span>Hannah Perkins Dodge was born in North Littleton, Massachusetts, on February 16, 1821. She dedicated her life to the education of young people, especially young women, and to philanthropic causes. Hannah taught as a young woman and attended Lawrence Academy and Townsend Female Academy. After graduating from the latter school, she became Townsend Female Academy's principal. In addition, she taught in Norfolk, Virginia, for a few months.</span><br /><br /><span>Seven years after beginning her tenure at Townsend, Hannah moved to Worcester, Massachusetts, to teach at </span><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc2.ark:/13960/t6n01bp38;view=1up;seq=54;size=125" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oread Collegiate Institute</a><span>, a school for young women that had been founded by Eli Thayer in 1848. She served as Preceptress and later as Acting Principal, while also teaching Moral Philosophy and Mathematics. One of her colleagues at Oread was Elizabeth Grout Arms, a friend who, like Hannah, had previously taught at Townsend Female Academy. According to </span><a href="https://archive.org/details/teachersmesagem00dodg/page/14/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rev. William Jacob Cloues</a><span>, Hannah's advisors included </span><a href="http://www.marykatemcmaster.org/MDP/items/show/21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Francis Wayland</a><span> </span><span>(Brown's President), Rev. Dr. Heman Lincoln Wayland (pastor of Worcester's Main St. Baptist Church), </span><a href="http://www.marykatemcmaster.org/MDP/items/show/40" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Edward Everett Hale</a><span> (pastor of Worcester's Church of the Unity), and Hon. Isaac Davis (a lawyer and politician who served as Worcester's mayor).</span><br /><br /><span>In 1859, Hannah left Oread and spent a year traveling and studying in Europe. Upon her return in 1861, she opened her own school, Codman Hill Young Ladies' School, in Dorchester, Massachusetts. By 1868, Hannah's friend Elizabeth was living in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where her husband, Rev. Dr. Heman Lincoln Wayland, had become a professor at Kalamazoo College. Since Hannah moved to Michigan in 1868 to become Lady Principal at Kalamazoo College, it appears likely that Rev. Wayland had mentioned Hannah's talents to the college's leaders. Later, she returned to New England, serving in the same capacity at the co-ed New London Literary and Scientific Institution (later Colby Academy) in New London, New Hampshire.</span><br /><br /><span>While she officially retired in 1877, and returned to Littleton, Massachusetts, Hannah was not done giving back. In addition to being a philanthropist, she served as the superintendent of schools in Littleton, as a trustee of the Reuben Hoar Library, and as the president of the local Woman's Christian Temperance Union. </span><br /><br /><span>Hannah Perkins Dodge passed away in Littleton on January 11, 1896, and was buried in Westlawn Cemetery.</span>

DORR, Mrs. Julia C. R.
<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>

AMES, Miss Julia A.
<p>Julia A. Ames, a gifted editor, orator, and temperance reformer, was born in Odell, Illinois, on October 14, 1860. She graduated from Streator High School, Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, and the Chicago School of Oratory.<br /><br />Julia spent much of her life in the Chicago area. During her early efforts for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Julia worked closely with<span> </span><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Levancia Holcomb Plumb</a>.<span> </span><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/69" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frances Elizabeth Willard<span> </span></a>and<span> </span><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/49" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matilda B. Carse</a><span> </span>are just two other people in Julia's personal network. Matilda B. Carse gave Julia the nickname "Yolande," after she noted Julia's similarity to the heroine of an 1883 novel by William Black (<em>A Young Woman Journalist</em>, 39).<br /><br />In addition to her efforts on behalf of temperance reform, Ames wrote for the <em>Chicago Inter-Ocean</em> and edited the <em>Union Signal</em>. She was a member of, and later the president of, the Woman's Temperance Publishing Circle of King's Daughters.</p>
<p>Julia passed away in Boston on December 12, 1891, after having become very ill while participating in a convention. She was just thirty-one years old. Julia was buried in Riverview Cemetery in Streator, Illinois.<span> </span><span>The year after "Yolande's" death, The Woman's Temperance Publishing Association published </span><a href="https://archive.org/details/youngwomanjourna00chic/page/n7/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>A Young Woman Journalist: A Memorial Tribute to Julia A.

AIKENS, Mrs. Amanda L.
<p>Amanda L. Aikens was born in North Adams, Massachusetts on May 12, 1833, and later lived in Pittsfield. She met Andrew J. Aikens, editor of a weekly North Adams newspaper, and the couple moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin after their 1854 marriage.

ALCOTT, Miss Louisa May
Louisa May Alcott, author of <em>Little Women</em> and several other books, was born in Germantown, PA on November 29, 1832, but she spent most of her life in Concord, MA. <br /><br />Alcott lived in Boston with her family during her youth and moved with them to Harvard where her father, transcendentalist Amos Bronson Alcott, had formed the Fruitlands community. Later, the family moved back to Concord. During the Civil War, Louisa worked as a nurse in Washington, D.C. While an illness halted her service shortly after it had started, the experience was the inspiration for <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/2027/uc2.ark:/13960/t0xp6x47p" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Hospital Sketches (1863)</em></a>. James Redpath, her publisher, also published her <em>On Picket Duty, and Other Tales</em> the next year.<br /><br />During her career, Louisa wrote numerous books under her own name and several thrillers under her pseudonym, A. M. Barnard. Her most famous book was <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/2027/uc2.ark:/13960/t4gm82m68" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Little Women</em></a> published by Roberts Brothers in 1868. This book was illustrated by her sister May Alcott Nieriker, an artist whose profile is in A Woman of the Century. Louisa also edited <em>Merry's Museum</em> from 1868 to 1879 and wrote pieces for periodicals such as <em><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/23" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Atlantic Monthly</a></em> and <em><a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/22" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Independent</a></em>. <br /><span class="tag"> <br />Louisa's extensive social network included authors <a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/103" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ednah Dow Cheney</a>, <a href="http://www.marykatemcmaster.org/MDP/items/show/19" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ralph Waldo Emerson</a>, <a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/211" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabeth Powell Bond</a>, Henry David Thoreau, and her uncle, reformer Samuel Joseph May.<br /><br />By 1883, Louisa was living in Concord and caring for both her elderly father and her niece Lu, whose mother May had passed away shortly after her birth. <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn82015679/1883-01-27/ed-1/seq-4/#date1=1880&sort=date&date2=1890&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=3&words=Alcott+ALCOTT+Louisa+May&proxdistance=5&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Louisa+May+Alcott&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Indianapolis Journal</em> </a>reprinted Louisa's letter to <a href="http://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/43" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lucy Stone</a> that while she was interested in woman's suffrage, her family obligations prevented her from attending the Woman's Suffrage National Convention. Louisa also expressed her frustration at the lack of interest in the topic by many of Concord's women and hoped that the women at the Convention could help to provide motivation for "these slothful sisters." Later that year, Louisa was one of ten women who sent a joint letter to the Massachusetts and Republican State Central Committees. As <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85034374/1883-09-22/ed-1/seq-1/#date1=1880&sort=date&date2=1890&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=4&words=Alcott+Louisa+May&proxdistance=5&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Louisa+May+Alcott&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Greenville Times</em></a> notes, "They believe that the establishment of political rights for women is essential to the highest good of the state." The other women were Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, Mary G. Ames, Mary A. Livermore, Mary F. Eastman, Ednah D. Cheney, Mary C. Shannon, Mary Shannon, and Susan E. B. Channing. Louisa continued to support the cause during the 1880s.<br /><br />She passed away on March 6, 1888 at age fifty-five and was buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetry in Concord, MA.</span>

BURLINGAME, Mrs. Emeline S
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Emeline S. Burlingame, an editor and evangelist, was born in Smithfield, Rhode Island on September 22, 1836. She grew up in Rhode Island and attended Providence High School and Rhode Island Normal School. Emeline married Luther Rawson Burlingame on November 24, 1859, and raised her family while also writing, editing, and participating in causes she believed in. The family lived in Whitestone, New York in 1865, Dover, New Hampshire in 1870, and Providence, Rhode Island in 1880.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One cause that Emeline was passionate about was her Free Will Baptist religion. Throughout her life, Emeline was a leader who used her talent to support Free Will Baptist causes. She wrote for </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Morning Star</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Little Star</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and edited </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Missionary Helper</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, all Free Will Baptist publications. Emeline also edited </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Myrle</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a children's periodical, and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Town and Country, </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">a temperance periodical.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Emeline lost two of her three sons at very young ages, a daughter at age nineteen, and Luther in 1890. Emeline married Dr. Oren Burbank Cheney, the president of Bates College, on July 5, 1892, and moved to his home in Lewiston, Maine. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A leader in women's causes, she was elected as corresponding secretary of the National Council of Women in 1894. Emeline's colleagues on committees included J. Ellen Foster, Belva Lockwood, and Rev. Anna Howard Shaw. Working with other women, Emeline lent her talent and voice to the Atlanta Exposition in 1895. She spoke about "The Influence of Home and Foreign Mission Work on Women's Development," a topic she knew quite well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After Oren’s death, Emeline wrote <a href="https://archive.org/details/storyoflifeworko00chen/page/n5/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Story of the Life and Work of Oren B. Cheney: Founder and First President of Bates College</em></a>, which was published in 1907. She passed away on February 26, 1923, and was buried in Providence’s Swan Point Cemetery.</span></p>
