Included in The Female Poet, Volume 3, are works by Elizabeth Gaskell, Amy Lowell, Ann Griffiths, Janet Hamilton, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Emma Lazarus, and many others.

About the Authors
Amy Lawrence Lowell (1874–1925) was an
American poet of the imagist school from Brookline, Massachusetts. Lowell was
born into Brookline’s Lowell family, sister to astronomer Percival Lowell and
Harvard president Abbott Lawrence Lowell. She was posthumously awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1926.
Elizabeth Gaskell (1810–1865) was an English novelist and short-story writer born in London and raised in Knutsford, Cheshire, which became the model for village settings in her novels. In 1832 she married William Gaskell, a Unitarian minister. Her first novel, Mary Barton, published in 1848, was immensely popular and brought her to the attention of Charles Dickens, who solicited her work for his periodical, Household Words, for which she wrote the series subsequently reprinted as Cranford.
