"Josiah Allan's wife says" [in P19]: Marietta Holley (1836–1926) was a popular writer who used "Josiah Allan's Wife" as one of her pseudonyms for her Samantha books, written in comic dialect and taking up many issues, including "wimmin’s rites." Pictured here, the cover of Samantha in Saratoga and its frontispiece showing Samatha admonishing her husband. The caption reads, "And bathed his very soul with many a sweet moral lesson."
