Mary Edwards Bryan became one of America's best-known writers of
popular fiction in the nineteenth century. She reached literary
success despite a tough frontier life, the upheavals of secession
and war, disruptive affairs with authors and politicians, the
tensions of emancipation, and pervading post-war economic disorder.
Pairing historical insights with selections of Bryan's best
writing, this book illustrates how the obstacles she overcame
shaped what she wrote. Bryan's life in Florida, Georgia, and
Louisiana shows how men often oppressed women-in her case, as
fathers and husbands-but also sometimes allowed aspiring women
writers key opportunities as publishers and editors of literary
journals. This book reintroduces to the world a courageous and
creative talent who yearned to express herself while navigating the
restrictive morals and conventions of Victorian society.
