About the author
Born in Virginia in 1865 and later based in Tennessee, Elizabeth Fry Page built a varied career as an author, editor, and lecturer. She was closely connected with Southern literary circles and helped found the Tennessee Woman's Press and Authors' Club, showing how active she was not just on the page but in the broader world of letters.
Page wrote poems, stories, and novels, and also worked in magazine editing, including an association with Taylor-Trotwood Magazine. Her published work included titles such as The Blue Ridge and Other Poems, and she was known for writing that drew on Southern settings and traditions.
She died on September 3, 1943. Remembered as both a creative writer and a literary organizer, she stands out as part of the generation of women who helped shape regional American literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
