She wants to be a poet and eventually attends the university, where her talent is encouraged. A carefully crafted defense of the New Woman, the first generation of women to achieve economic and social independence, \u003ci\u003eRose of Dutcher's Coolly\u003c\/i\u003e deals with issues that are still with us--the nature of femininity, the problem of reconciling career and family, the meaning of \"love,\" and the need for equal opportunity. Above all, it records a nineteenth-century man's vision of a world that still eludes us, one in which men and women are equal partners. This edition reprints the text of the 1895 printing and includes an introduction that places the novel in the historical context of the early feminist movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHamlin Garland (1860-1940) is best known for his collection of short stories \u003ci\u003eMain-Travelled Roads\u003c\/i\u003e, available in a Bison Books edition, and for his autobiography, \u003ci\u003eA Son of the Middle Border\u003c\/i\u003e.
