A bold American writer, suffragist, and clubwoman, she moved easily between reform work and imaginative fiction. Her books include visionary and speculative titles that still catch the eye of readers interested in early feminist and utopian writing.

An episode in the doings of the dualized
by Eveleen Laura Mason
About the author
Born in 1838, Eveleen Laura Knaggs Mason was an American writer whose work ranged across fiction, essays, and public commentary. She is remembered not only as an author but also as a suffragist and an active clubwoman, linking her writing to the wider reform movements of her time.
Her published work includes Hiero-Salem: The Vision of Peace, An Episode in the Doings of the Dualized, Mad? Which? Neither, and collections such as Twenty Outputs. Those titles show the unusual breadth of her interests, from social and spiritual ideas to speculative fiction that has earned her a place in discussions of early science fiction.
Mason died in 1914, but her books remain of interest to readers drawn to overlooked voices from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She stands out as a writer who brought together imagination, argument, and a strong belief in women's public and intellectual life.
