Love and tea: A comedy-drama of colonial times in two acts
by Anna Phillips See
About the author
Anna Phillips See was an American writer whose work appeared in the 1910s. Publicly available library records connect her with Love and Tea: A Comedy-Drama of Colonial Times in Two Acts, a play published in 1915, and Children's Songs of City Life from 1916, created with Sidney Dorlon Lowe.
Those titles hint at a versatile style. One turns to colonial-era drama, while the other reaches toward music and children's literature. Records for When Women Vote also suggest that she wrote about questions of civic life and women's political participation, themes that were especially timely in the years leading up to nationwide women's suffrage in the United States.
Reliable biographical details about her life are limited in the sources I could confirm, so much of her personal story remains indistinct. Even so, her published work leaves behind a clear impression of an author engaged with performance, education, and the public debates of her era.
