- Marietta Holley was born on the family farm in Jefferson County, New York. Her formal education ended at age 14 as she had to work to help support the family. She began her literary career writing for newspapers and women’s magazines. In 1873, she published her first book, My Opinions and Betsy Bobbet’s, and subsequently published 20 more books featuring her trademark humor and wit. She used satire to express her strong feminist views, often criticizing the double standard for men and women, as well as criticizing the exploitation of workers and racism. Although forgotten today, Holley was called the "female Mark Twain" in her own day and sold more copies of her books than Twain did.
