1 thought on “Happy Birthday to W. D. Howells (1 March 1837- 11 May 1920)!”
Maureen McGowan
How good it is to remember W.D. Howells’s beautiful life, well lived not only as an author committed to literature throughout his lifetime, but as an honorable man, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a wonderful friend to his friends, who included women. I am so happy to be in his “circle” of admirers, friends, and those who honor him today. Maureen McGowan 2004 MA Thesis – “From True Woman to New Woman.” — CUNY / Hunter College, NYC
