Two autograph quotes from two notable women writers of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century America. Kate Douglas Wiggin, who ran a professional training school for teachers and for a time became a teacher herself, found success writing books for children, including the very popular "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm," quoted here: "God bless the brick house that was; God bless the brich house that is to be." Ella Wheeler Wilcox, meanwhile, was a popular poet who was deeply involved in occult and spiritualist groups. Here she quotes her poem "The World's Need": "So many gods, so many creeds, / So many paths that wind and wind, / While just the art of being kind, / Is all the sad world needs"
