    Alice Duer Miller

    Alice Duer Miller (1874-1942) was an American novelist, poet, screenwriter, and women’s rights activist. Born into wealth in New York City, she was raised in a family of politicians, businessmen, and academics. At Barnard College, she studied Astronomy and Mathematics while writing novels, essays, and poems. She married Henry Wise Miller in 1899, moving with him in their young son to Costa Rica where they struggled and failed to open a rubber plantation. Back in New York, Miller earned a reputation as a gifted poet whose satirical poems advocating for women’s suffrage were collected in Are Women People? (1915). Over the next two decades, Miller published several collections of stories and poems, some of which would serve as source material for motion picture adaptations. The White Cliffs (1940), her final published work, is a verse novel that uses the story of a young women widowed during the Great War to pose important questions about the morality of conflict and patriotism in the leadup to the United States’ entrance into World War II.

      Fun book. Quick to read and, surprisingly still at least somewhat relevant.
    • 3/5
      A nice collection of US suffrage rhymes and other snippets - with titles like "The Revolt of Mother" and "Why We Oppose Pockets for Women". As far as poetry goes, it's pretty dreadful - but that isn't what it's for. It is a pointed but humourous contribution to the campaign for female suffrage in America and (more particularly) a piece of well-deserved mockery for anti-suffragist speakers and writers. Well worth an hour or two - especially at election time!
