Autorenporträt

Under the pen name H. H., Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885) was an American novelist, poet, and social justice activist. She was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, and her poems "Verses" (1870) and "Bits of Travel" (1872) helped her become well-known poet. Her literary legacy goes beyond poetry, though. Perhaps the book for which Helen Hunt Jackson is most well-known is "Ramona" (1884), a moving account of the atrocities that Native Americans in Southern California had to endure. The treatment of indigenous communities was widely known, and this book helped spark the first conversations about Native Americans' rights and cultural preservation. Helen Hunt Jackson was a member of the Board of Indian Commissioners and advocated for educational reform for Native American youth. Her work had a long-lasting influence on social justice and American literature, opening the door for later movements that aimed to correct past injustices and advance intercultural understanding.
