Book Description
Madeline Yale Wynne (1847-1918) was an American artist, teacher, writer and philanthropist. She was born in Newport, New York and in 1865, aged 18, married Henry Winn with whom she had two sons. The marriage ended in 1874, following which she changed the spelling of her last name to Wynne. She studied painting at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston from 1877-78 and at the Art Students League of New York in 1880, and later in Europe. In Florence in the 1880s she met fellow craftsman Annie Cabot Putnam and the two became lifelong partners, initially sharing a studio in Boston, and later restoring a Georgian mansion in Deerfield, Massachusetts together, aided by one of her sons. Her writing career began with the supernatural story The Little Room which was well received when it was published in the August 1895 issue of Harper's Magazine, and it was included in this collection of her stories, accompanied by her own decorations, along with its sequel, later that same year. She continued to write for Atlantic Monthly, Harper's Monthly, Home Beautiful and various other periodicals. In 1901 Madeline helped found the Deerfield Society of Arts and Crafts, serving as curator as the movement produced a broad array of artistry including jewellery, photography, weaving, rugs and furniture. She and Annie were highly influential in developing arts and crafts in the community, organizing tours of the village's craftwork and arranging speaking engagements, and they were both expert metalsmiths in their own right.

Book Description
My aunts brought mother up; they were nearly twenty years older than she. I might say Hiram and they brought her up. You see, Hiram was bound out to my grandfather when he was a boy, and when grandfather died Hiram said he “s’posed he went with the farm, ’long o’ the critters,” and he has been there ever since. He was my mother’s only refuge from the decorum of my aunts. They are simply workers. They make me think of the Maine woman who wanted her epitaph to be: “She was a hard working woman...FROM THE BOOKS.

Book Description
Scare Tactics identifies an important but overlooked tradition of supernatural writing by American women. Jeffrey Weinstock analyzes this tradition as an essentially feminist attempt to imagine alternatives to a world of limited possibilities. In the process, he recovers the lives and works of authors who were important during their lifetimes and in the development of the American literary tradition, but who are not recognized today for their contributions. Between the end of the Civil War and roughly 1930, hundreds of uncanny tales were published by women in the periodical press and in books. These include stories by familiar figures such as Edith Wharton, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, as well as by authors almost wholly unknown to twenty-first-century readers, such as Josephine Dodge Bacon, Alice Brown, Emma Frances Dawson, and Harriet Prescott Spofford. Focusing on this tradition of female writing offers a corrective to the prevailing belief within American literary scholarship that the uncanny tale, exemplified by the literary productions of Irving, Poe, and Hawthorne, was displaced after the Civil War by literary realism. Beyond the simple existence of an unacknowledged tradition of uncanny literature by women, Scare Tactics makes a strong case that this body of literature should be read as a specifically feminist literary tradition. Especially intriguing, Weinstock demonstrates, is that women authors repeatedly used Gothic conventions to express discontentment with circumscribed roles for women creating types of political intervention connected to the broader sphere of women's rights activism. Paying attention to these overlooked authors helps us better understand not only the literary marketplace of their time, but also more familiar American Gothicists from Edgar Allan Poe to Shirley Jackson to Stephen King.
