Mrs E. D. E. N. Southworth Books

Emma Southworth was one of the most widely read authors of her era, penning over 60 novels in the latter half of the 19th century. Like her friend Harriet Beecher Stowe, she was a proponent of social change and women's rights. Her early works appeared in the same publications as Uncle Tom's Cabin. Many of her novels are set in the post-Civil War American South, exploring the complexities of society during that period.
