About the author
Maria Thompson Daviess (1872–1924) was an American novelist, painter, and suffragist. She was born in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, in 1872 and died in New York in 1924. From 1909 onward she published a number of optimistic novels, among which The Melting of Molly is her best-known work; titles such as Phyllis, Rose of Old Harpeth, and Blue-grass and Broadway generally depict Southern life and human relationships in a light, cheerful tone. Beyond writing, she helped found the Nashville Equal Suffrage League and took an active part in the campaign for women's right to vote. Twelve of her works are held in this collection, though common classification information is currently unavailable and public sources are limited, so further biographical detail cannot be given. Her fiction and her suffrage work together reflect the participation of American women in literature and public affairs in the early twentieth century.
