Margaret was a strong-willed woman who lived through many tragic events. I’d love to read a well-written, even-handed full-length biography of her.
What a lovely piece of art! This period of history was not so lovely, however.
I don’t see a place to comment about Emily Dickinson, so I will here. I owe a lot to her primary biographer, the saintly Richard Sewall, who also encouraged my own writing, so I’d strongly recommend his biography to your readers.
