Woman of the Century — Marah Ellis Ryan (1893)
“ There she finds health and recreation in the practical management of her farm. While she was on the stage, she had a strong liking for roles of the marked "character" order, such as old people of the witchy, grotesque sort, and that peculiarity may be noted with distinctness in her stories, in which the characters are strongly drawn on the lines indicated. She is now self-exiled from the stage and from art, and in her mountain home devotes her energies to literature. ”
