Short Story Classics Frances Ellen Watkins Harper The Two Offers by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper "What is the matter with you, Laura, this morning? I have been watching you this hour, and in that time you have commenced a half dozen letters and torn them all up. What matter of such grave moment is puzzling your dear little head, that you do not know how to decide?" "Well, it is an important matter: I have two offers for marriage, and I do not know which to choose." "I should accept neither, or to say the least, not at present." "Why not?" "Because I think a woman who is undecided between two offers, has not love enough for either to make a choice; and in that very hesitation, indecision, she has a reason to pause and seriously reflect, lest her marriage, instead of being an affinity of souls or a union of hearts, should only be a mere matter of bargain and sale, or an affair of convenience and selfish interest." "But I consider them both very good offers, just such as many a girl would gladly receive. But to tell you the truth, I do not think that I regard either as a woman should the man she chooses for her husband. But then if I refuse, there is the risk of being an old maid, and that is not to be thought of."

Annotated Bibliography Andrews, William L; Foster and Harris, ed. The Oxford Companion to African-American Literature. New York: Oxford University Press, 1997. This anthology gives a detailed outline of the books, speeches and most famous poems written by Harper. To begin, researchers of Harper must know the titles and dates of her major works because the essays and literature about her work is sparse. However, this autobiographical passage shows there are many methods to research Harper's works and life. Carby, Hazel V. Reconstructing Womanhood: The Emergence of the Afro-American Woman Novelist. New York: Oxford University Press, 1987. Iola Leroy is Harper's acclaimed novel. Carby discusses Harper's novel in a manner that explains Harper's style and intent for writing. Moreover, Carby shows Harper's political intent and outlines the themes present in Harper's poetry and prose, such as the abolition movement and gender inequality. While outlining the character development of the protagonist, Iola, Carby shows the stages of Harper's writing and how the writing correlates to different historical and political issues.

Home The Parlor The Kitchen References Women's writing has enjoyed a rich tradition. Women of all classes, ranks and ages have taken up the pen throughout history. In the nineteenth century, there was a broad range of writing circulating beyond the few hallowed authors of the "American Renaissance". This page gives you a brief introduction to what is available on the Web by women. The first section will take you through links about five major nineteenth century poets: Alice and Phoebe Cary, Rose Terry Cooke, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and Helen Hunt Jackson. The next section is a brief introduction to the amazing variety of poetry by women published in magazines and newspapers of the nineteenth century. Finally, the last section touches on private writings by women who chose not to publish, but still circulated their writing. The Poets Poetry in Magazines and Newspapers Private Writings The Poets Print exploded in the nineteenth century and women filled the ranks of writers needed for numerous magazines, newspapers and journals. While traditional thought may be that women were limited only to the domestic role, a surprising number wrote and published poetry. Paula Bennet's Nineteenth Century American Women Poets: An Anthology and Emily Stipes Watts's Poetry of American Women from 1632 to 1945 are representative of the recent movement to recover the women poets of the nineteenth century. Paula Bennet includes a broad range of poets, dividing her anthology into a section of “major poets” of the century and a section of a broad range women's poetry published in magazines and journals. I follow her divisions here, giving a brief representation of published poets available on the Web.
