    Susan Augusta Fenimore Cooper (April 17, 1813 - December 31, 1894) was an American writer and amateur naturalist. She founded an orphanage in Cooperstown, New York and made it a successful charity. The daughter of writer James Fenimore Cooper, she served as his secretary and amanuensis late in his life.Susan Fenimore Cooper was born in 1813 in Scarsdale, New York, the daughter of the novelist James Fenimore Cooper and his wife Susan Augusta DeLancey. She was his second child, and the eldest to survive her youth. During the later years of her father's life, she became his secretary and amanuensis, and but for her father's prohibition would probably have become his biographer.[1][2] In 1873, she founded an orphanage in Cooperstown, New York, the town founded by her paternal grandfather William Cooper and where her father had lived for some time. Under her superintendence the orphanage became a prosperous charitable institution. It was begun in a modest house in a small way with five pupils; in 1900 the building, which was erected in 1883, sheltered ninety boys and girls. The orphans were taken when quite young, were fed, clothed, and given a basic education. When they were old enough, they were helped to find positions in "good Christian families." Some of them before leaving were taught to earn their own living.In 1886 Cooper established The Friendly Society. Every woman on becoming a member of the Society chose one of the girls in the orphanage to give individual attention..... James Fenimore Cooper (September 15, 1789 - September 15, 1851) was a prolific and popular American writer of the early 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. He lived most of his life in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father William on property that he owned. Cooper was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church and, in his later years, contributed generously to it.He attended Yale University for three years, where he was a member of the Linonian Society, but was expelled for misbehavior. Before embarking on his career as a writer, he served in the U.S. Navy as a Midshipman, which greatly influenced many of his novels ands other writings. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, a tale about counterespionage set during the Revolutionary War and published in 1821. He also wrote numerous sea stories, and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Among naval historians, Cooper's works on the early U.S. Navy have been well received, but they were sometimes criticized by his contemporaries. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece.

    The Water Witch is a 1830 novel by James Fenimore Cooper. Set in 17th century New York, and the surrounding sea, the novel depicts the abduction of a woman, Alida de Barbérie, by the pirate captain of the brigantine, Water Witch, and the subsequent pursuit of that elusive ship by her suitor, Captain Ludlow.Cooper wrote the novel, while on a extended tour of Europe, during his stay in the villa Palazzu detta del Tasso near Naples. [1] Cooper tried to print the novel while he was in Italy in 1829 but Papal censors forbade its publication in Italy.[1] Cooper was then able to print the novel in Dresden, before also sending copies to his publishers in the US and England.Critic Allan Axelrod describes the novel as heavily influenced by the Italian context of its writing, noting that it even compares the landscapes of New York with that of Italy.

    Elinor Wyllys is a novel written by Susan Fenimore Cooper and published in two volumes. The first volume follows the story of Elinor Wyllys, a young woman from a wealthy family who is forced to navigate the complexities of high society in early 19th century America. Elinor is intelligent, independent, and determined to find her own path in life, but she is also vulnerable to the pressures and expectations of her social class.As the novel unfolds, Elinor finds herself caught up in a web of romantic intrigue and political maneuvering, as various suitors and rivals vie for her attention and affection. Meanwhile, she must also contend with the challenges of maintaining her independence and integrity in a world where women are expected to be subservient and obedient.Throughout the novel, Cooper explores themes of love, class, gender, and power, offering a nuanced and complex portrait of early American society. With its vivid characters, richly detailed setting, and engaging plot, Elinor Wyllys is a compelling work of historical fiction that will captivate readers of all ages and backgrounds.Jane, too, left Elinor a few days later; and Miss Wyllys, who had charge of her--as Mr. and Mrs. Graham lived in Charleston--placed her at one of the fashionable boarding schools of New York. Miss Adeline Taylor had, in the mean time, informed her parents that she had changed her mind as to the school which was to have the honour of completing her education: she should NOT return to Mrs. A-----'s, but go to Mrs. G-----'s--.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

    The question of "female suffrage" has long been resolved in the United States, and--though sometimes more recently--in other democratic societies as well. For most people, certainly in the so- called Western world, the right of women to vote on a basis of equality with men seems obvious. A century ago this was not the case, even in America, and it required a long, arduous, and sometimes painful struggle before the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified on August 18, 1920.

    ""Female Suffrage"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Susan Fenimore Cooper, which explores the struggle of women to gain the right to vote in the United States. The book delves into the early history of the women's suffrage movement, beginning with the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, and follows the progression of the movement through the 19th and early 20th centuries.Cooper examines the key players in the suffrage movement, including Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucy Stone, as well as the opposition they faced from politicians, religious leaders, and society at large. She also explores the various strategies and tactics used by suffragists to gain support and push for change, including rallies, petitions, and civil disobedience.Throughout the book, Cooper highlights the role of women of color in the suffrage movement, including African American suffragists like Sojourner Truth and Ida B. Wells, and the challenges they faced in fighting for both suffrage and racial equality.Overall, ""Female Suffrage"" provides a comprehensive and insightful look into the women's suffrage movement in the United States, and the ongoing struggle for gender equality.An adventurous party among us, weary of the old paths, is now eagerly proclaiming theories and doctrines entirely novel on this important subject. The EMANCIPATION OF WOMAN is the name chosen by its advocates for this movement. They reject the idea of all subordination, even in the mildest form, with utter scorn. They claim for woman absolute social and political equality with man. And they seek to secure these points by conferring on the whole sex the right of the elective franchise, female suffrage being the first step in the unwieldy revolutions they aim at bringing about. These views are no longer confined to a small sect.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
