Book Chapter
The image of Rawlings taking Glasgow’s hand in hers after leading her in from the cold in her dream served as a foreground for the Glasgow she would come to understand even better as she spent time ...with Glasgow’s closest friends and family members to learn more about Glasgow after her death. Rawlings’s early glimpse into what was later published as Glasgow’s autobiography, The Woman Within, revealed to Rawlings a baby being carried about on a pillow and a child with nervous headaches that kept her from attending Miss Lizzie Munford’s school. Richmond had a different sort of elite from

Book Chapter
In her first published work of fiction, Ellen Glasgow, aged twenty-two, imagined the life of Patricia Yorke, the first woman to be considered for the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme ...Court. The story, “A Woman of To-Morrow” (1895), exemplified the conflict experienced by so many ambitious women who find that their rise to success will require sacrifices greater than those of their male counterparts. Written well before the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote, this story sees such changes as inevitable, and grieves for those women who would sacrifice parts of themselves to ensure that those

Perhaps the most powerful sentiment expressed in the countless note cards created by Rawlings while working on her biography of Glasgow is one on which she has handwritten across the top of the card, ...“If I didn’t think her work was going to live, I wouldn’t be wasting my time on a biography.”¹ A dream that Rawlings shared with Glasgow, their correspondence, and later the countless interviews, collected letters and articles, and notes that Rawlings compiled when trying to reconstruct the life of Ellen Glasgow to her own satisfaction illustrate a bond between the two women that transcended any ordinary

As marjorie kinnan rawlings collected materials toward her biography of Ellen Glasgow, she highlighted critics’ misreading of Glasgow and the many ways in which she was being overlooked, especially ...toward the end of her life, in spite of such a prolific and well-respected literary career. Recall the letter to Norman Berg referenced earlier in which Rawlings conveyed with some measure of indignation her Aunt Wilmer’s negative response to her decision to write a biography of Ellen Glasgow, “some obscure person,” rather than simply resting and having a good time (Bigelow and Monti 390). Ellen Glasgow, who broke into the literary

Book Chapter
When marjorie kinnan rawlings committed to her biography of Ellen Glasgow, one area of Glasgow’s life, in particular, fascinated her more than any other, and led to a series of interviews with and ...private commentaries on Glasgow: her love life. Superficially, Glasgow epitomized the stereotype of a spinster. Echoing the title and theme of her 1932 novel, Ellen Glasgow lived The Sheltered Life, too frail to attend school, coming of age before women were permitted at the University of Virginia, and with a hearing impairment that meant she required relatives or close friends to accompany her when she traveled. Glasgow

Book Chapter
Ellen glasgow wrote these lines in the introduction to a critical collection of her own essays on her major novels, A Certain Measure, published in 1938, initially as prefaces to her works. It was ...her own approach to writing about her craft that most appealed to Rawlings, who enjoyed these essays more than Glasgow’s novels. In A Certain Measure, Glasgow reacts to critical responses to her works that did not fully grasp what she was trying to accomplish with her writing. By the time Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings first met Ellen Glasgow in April of 1941, both writers had firmly established
