Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow (April 22, 1873 - November 21, 1945) "was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist who portrayed the changing world of the contemporary south." (Wikipedia, 2011/10/11). She was long-involved with fantasy writer James Branch Cabell.



  • "As the United States women's suffrage movement was developing in the early 1900s, Glasgow marched in the English suffrage parades in the spring 1909. Later she spoke at the first suffrage meeting in Virginia.[1] Glasgow felt that the movement came "at the wrong moment" for her, and her participation and interest waned.[2] Glasgow did not at first make women’s roles her major theme, and she was slow to place heroines rather than heroes at the centers of her stories.[3] Her later works, however, have heroines who display many of the attributes of women involved in the political movement."
