==Alice French ==
(詳細はAndover, Massachusetts, Alice French was five when her family moved to Davenport, Iowa in 1855. She became the first writer from Iowa with a national reputation. Her first short story appeared in a local newspaper in 1871 and by the 1880s she was being published in ''The Atlantic'' and ''Harper’s''. She wrote under the pen name Octave Thanet and her stories became popular in the 1890s and early 1900s.
French, along with her widowed friend Jane Allen Crawford, spent their winters at Clover Bend Plantation in Lawrence County, Arkansas from 1883-1909. French expanded on the regionalist themes she started in Iowa with stories about the people in the Clover Bend area. She used the poor black and white sharecroppers as the subjects for her stories.
As literary tastes changed French’s work fell out of favor. She abandoned writing and took up social work. She died in Davenport in 1934.
