1897 HELEN HINSDALE RICH. Murillo's Slave and Other Poems. First Suffragette in Northern New York. Reformer text very solid and cleanA rather scarce volume of poetry by Helen Hinsdale Rich, pioneer of women's rights in New York. Much of the poetry is on social and political issues such as patriotism, suffrage, temperance, etc., Her work, A Dream of the Adirondacks and Other Poems, enjoyed signal success. The present work is more obscure, though of equal merit. Of special note are her lines on the abolitionist Wendell Phillips, a poem on true manhood, etc. No examples in the auction
