DICKINSON, ANNA ELIZABETH (1842- ), American author and lecturer, was
born, of Quaker parentage, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the 28th of
October 1842. She was educated at the Friends' Free School in
Philadelphia, and was for a time a teacher. In 1861 she obtained a
clerkship in the United States mint, but was removed for criticizing
General McClellan at a public meeting. She had gradually become widely

her sex to mount the platform to discuss the burning questions of the

the war she toured the country on behalf of the Sanitary Commission, and
also lectured on reconstruction, temperance and woman's rights. She
wrote several plays, including _The Crown of Thorns_ (1876); _Mary
Tudor_ (1878), in which she appeared in the title role; _Aurelian_
(1878); and _An American Girl_ (1880), successfully acted by Fanny
Davenport. She also published a novel, _Which Answer?_ (1868); _A Paying

People, Places and Opinions_ (1879).
