Widely regarded as the best of Hamlin Garland's novels, "Rose of
Dutcher's Coolly" tells the story of a country girl of precocious
ability who is raised by her widower father on a small Wisconsin
farm. She wants to be a poet and eventually attends the university,
where her talent is encouraged. A carefully crafted defense of the
New Woman, the first generation of women to achieve economic and
social independence, "Rose of Dutcher's Coolly" deals with issues
that are still with us--the nature of femininity, the problem of
reconciling career and family, the meaning of "love," and the need
for equal opportunity. Above all, it records a nineteenth-century
man's vision of a world that still eludes us, one in which men and
women are equal partners. This edition reprints the text of the
1895 printing and includes an introduction that places the novel in
the historical context of the early feminist movement.
