Autorenporträt
Gail Hamilton was the pen name of the esteemed 19th-century author Mary Abigail Dodge (1833-1896), a prominent American essayist, and writer known for her wit, satire, and sharp opinions. Born on March 31, 1833, in Hamilton, Massachusetts, Dodge was educated at various institutions including Ipswich Female Seminary and the Lexington Seminary. Before turning to write full-time, she spent some time teaching, a profession which provided insights that later found expression in her works. Dodge gained a substantial audience writing under her pseudonym, Gail Hamilton, contributing regularly to major periodicals of the time such as 'Atlantic Monthly' and 'The Independent.' Her essays were marked by their progressive views, often challenging the prescribed domestic roles for women and advocating for their intellectual and social freedoms. One of Dodge's well-regarded books is 'Gala-Days' (1863), a collection of vibrant essays reflecting on her observations and experiences with her signature humor and sprightly language. The title itself suggests a celebration of everyday life, turning mundane moments into occasions for reflection and joy. Throughout her literary career, Dodge remained unafarid to address controversial issues, always maintaining an engaging and accessible prose style that captivated 19th-century readers. Her contributions to American literature and thought continue to be studied for their pioneering stance on women's rights and their place in the social and literary history of the United States.
