They were determined, persistent, published and dared to be different. We will see their homes and their association with the November Club and Abbot Academy. Authors include: Bessie Goldsmith, Abbott Academy&#39;s McKeen sisters, Alice French (Octave Thanet), Mary Hooker Cornelius, Alice Buck, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Anne Bradstreet, Annie Sawyer Downs, and Charlotte Helen Abbott.
