Eva Wilder Brodhead

Eva Wilder Brodhead was an American novelist and short-story writer born in 1870 and active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Reliable reference sources identify her as Eva Wilder McGlasson Brodhead and note that she contributed to Harper's Magazine as well as publishing novels.

She is most often remembered for Diana's Livery (1891), a novel set around a Shaker-style community and noted for its interest in utopian ideas, gender separation, and women-centered spaces. Her work belongs to the rich period of American magazine and literary fiction that experimented with social questions while still telling lively, accessible stories.

Brodhead died in 1915. Though she is not as widely known today as some of her contemporaries, her fiction still attracts readers interested in overlooked women writers, speculative social themes, and the literary culture of the Gilded Age.
