About the author
Born in Brooklyn in 1915, she studied at Wheaton College and Brown University before beginning a career that combined writing, editing, and teaching. Archival records from the University of Michigan describe her as a writer, editor, and retired professor.
She remained active as a researcher even after retiring from teaching. One documented example is her 1995 book A Proud and Fiery Spirit, which drew on the letters and journals of her grandfather, sea captain Edward Baker.
I couldn't confirm from reliable sources that this is the same Helen Hill who died in 1942, so this summary is based on the better-documented author Helen Hill found in archival and library records.
