Are Women People?

Alice Duer Miller (1874-1942)

Alice Duer Miller was a writer who had written some verses about suffrage for the New York Tribune.  The verses were published in a book in 1915 called Are Women People? 

In the 1940s, she wrote a novel in verse called The White Cliffs which was a surprising best seller and it was made into a film in 1942 called The White Cliffs of Dover.



Next week I will be featuring a number of her verses, many of which are humorous (we need all the humor we can find these days).  Today I'll start with the Introduction:


Tomorrow is Flower Friday and if you have any photos of yellow, white, or purple flowers that you would like to share with us, please email me at allentownquilter@gmail.com.

Stay safe and have a good day!
