Poems by Women

Biography

Akins, Zoë.  [1886-1958]

Born at Humansville, Mo., Oct. 30, 1886.  Educated at home and at Monticello Seminary, Godfrey, Ill.  Miss Akins began her literary work by contributing poems and critical articles to 'Reedy's Mirror', St. Louis, and in 1911 published her volume of poems,  "Interpretations".  The drama, however, soon began to absorb her, and she has had several plays produced, including "The Magical City", "Papa", a comedy, and "Declasse", which won a great success with Ethel Barrymore in the leading role.

From: Rittenhouse, Jessie B.
The Second Book of Modern Verse (1919).
