Mary E. Wilkins Freeman
Freeman was born in Randolph, Massachusetts, and at fifteen moved with her family to Brattleboro, Vermont. In 1884, left without any immediate family, she returned to Randolph, where she lived for almost twenty years with her childhood friend Mary Wales. She began to write seriously in the 1970s, and in the early 1880s her work began to appear in such popular magazines as Harper’s Bazar and Harper’s Monthly Magazine. At forty-nine, Mary E. Wilkins married Charles Manning Freeman, a New Jersey physician, and moved to Metuchen. Thereafter, she wrote under the name Mary E. Wilkins Freeman.
