About the author
Born in Vermont in 1845, George Noyes Miller was an American writer and editor associated with the Oneida Community, the religious and social experiment founded by his uncle, John Humphrey Noyes. He helped edit Home-Talks, a collection of Noyes's writings, and later published fiction of his own.
Miller is best remembered for The Strike of a Sex and its follow-up, After the Strike of a Sex, works that explore gender relations, social reform, and utopian ideas. Those books are often noted today for the way they mix satire, speculation, and arguments about women's position in society.
He died in 1904. Although he is not widely known now, his writing remains of interest to readers curious about early feminist fiction, utopian literature, and the intellectual world that grew around the Oneida Community.
