Writing continued to be the most popular occupation during the third period, but music took second place. This may be due to the opening of a music school in Boston. Five women were involved with education at some point during their careers, but three eventually married. Art, Oratory, Reform (temperance and women's suffrage), law, medicine, religion/missionary work, and theatre were chosen as avenues to pursue.
