Abstract

Anna Young Smith was raised in Philadelphia by her aunt Elizabeth Fergusson after her mother died giving birth. Anna drew inspiration from her aunt, who was also a writer, but her work went beyond the typical themes women writers normally focused on, such as love, courtship, and grief. Instead, Anna’s strong opinions on women’s rights and politics were her topics.
