Marietta Holley (1836-1926) was an American best-selling author and humourist who used satire to comment on U.S. society and politics. She began her literary career writing for newspapers and women's magazines before publishing her first novel, 'My Opinions and Betsy Bobbet's' in 1873.Holley went on to write over 20 novels, including 'Round the World with Samantha at the Centennial' (1876), 'My Wayward Pardner' (1880), 'Miss Richard's Boy' (1882), and 'Josiah Allen's Wife' (1899). Her works popularised women's rights and criticised sexual double standards and the exploitation of labour. Often compared to Mark Twain, Seba Smith, Benjamin Shillaber, and Frances M. Whitcher, she is one of America's great female humourists.
