batsy Oh wow, this sounds fascinating! Thank you, I've stacked it. 7y
kspenmoll @batsy It is fascinating, given when she was writing & the cultural expectations of women at the time. There is some stereotyping about Jews, some characters rather two dimensional, black & white, but I think it is worth reading as she was ahead of her time in her writing/ portrays of female experience. 7y
Cinfhen Very interesting! Nice choice😀 7y

batsy I totally understand; something to keep in mind when reading books by authors from the past. Groundbreaking in some ways and not so much in other ways! 7y
readinginthedark How interesting! I‘ve never read any of her work. 7y

(2nd) Today's author spotlight: Fanny Fern, aka. Sara Payson Willis! Born in Portland, Maine, in 1811, she passed away in NYC in 1872. She became staggeringly popular in the latter-half of the 19th and the early 20th centuries as a humorist, novelist, and children's story author. By 1855, she was the country's highest-paid columnist, earning $100 a week from the New York Ledger. #AuthorPotpourri #TheMoreYouKnow
