Marietta Holley (pseud. "Josiah Allen's Wife")
In addition, she chronicled the homely events and hard work that set the rhythm of life for country women as the local color writers of New England did. Like Stowe, Jewett, and Freeman, Holley re-created the voices and manners peculiar to her fictive landscape, in this case Jonesville, New York. Taking the notion of home-centeredness and the plot and character conventions that the domestic novelists had used, Holley turned it to her own purposes by showing the failure of gentility to provide a safe, satisfying life for women, and she melded three American literary traditions in a way no other writer had: the attention to regional detail of the local colorists merges with the conventions of the domestic novelists and the vernacular comedy developed by earlier humorists.
Holley used humor for a new end: to make accessible and palatable the ideals of the temperance and suffrage movements. Whereas the earlier comedians had made the woman—particularly the woman's rights advocate—the butt of their comedy, Holley created characters of both genders who embodied the absurdities of anti-suffrage and intemperance. Her early work was enormously popular with a wide audience, including reformers such as Susan B. Anthony and Frances Willard, who sought her support. Holley was often invited to address audiences, including the U.S. Congress, but because of her intense shyness and a slight speech impediment, she always declined. "Samantha Allen, Josiah Allen's Wife," spoke for her.

http://www.wpbstv.org/YearOfWomen/Home.htm
WPBS-TV Celebrates Funded in part by the National Center For Outreach March: Women in History Month SPECIAL ! Josiah Allen's Wife - The Marietta Holley Story: A WPBS-TV Local Production - Marietta Holley was a Jefferson County writer of the 19th century whose work once shaped the entire women's rights movement in the United States. Hailed as "The female Mark Twain," Marietta Holley wrote in a distinctive colloquial voice that has largely faded from modern literary use, but is still fresh and strong in her books. Holley and her work have fallen into relative obscurity and are largely unknown outside of very narrow academic circles. This local documentary is intended to re-ignite awareness of her importance in the history of the United States and of Jefferson County, in particular, and to re-introduce her literary style and the flavor of her work to contemporary audiences.

Classroom Issues and Strategies
It is helpful to read the early part of the chapter aloud so student readers can catch the rhythm of the language and see the humor in the odd spellings. Equally helpful is Jane Curry's recorded rendering of Samantha's voice in the tape cassette that accompanies Samantha Rastles the Woman Question Have students list the unfamiliar language usages and colloquialisms they encounter in their college community. Discuss what is amusing and/or revealing about these, what values are implicit in their use, and their use as a means of establishing community. Students often want to know whether Holley's audience found it difficult to read dialect and whether they took pleasure in it. Ask students to examine the Declaration of Independence before reading the Holley selection. A journal or freewriting assignment could follow in which students respond to what they understand to be the values implicit in that document. Or you might ask students to rewrite the Declaration of Independence in their vernacular. Students often have difficulty understanding how women might feel religiously disenfranchised, so we do some quick exercises demonstrating the power of exclusionfor example, not allowing anyone with blue eyes to speak in class for a set period. In addition we discuss briefly the patriarchal structure of Christian religious practice and its impact.

Life with "Josiah Allen's Wife" Kate H. Winter Recovers the buried reputation of one of America's most popular writers from 1873 to 1914. Subject of a Spring 2006 PBS Special. Reviews
"An engaging biographical look into the intriguing life of Marietta Holley. This scholarly biographical and literary study deftly explores the historical interests of the popular writer Marietta Holley and many of the secrets that made her life and writing what it became. A very highly recommended read for students of literature, women’s studies and regional American cultural history."
The Bookwatch "Backed by Mark Twain’s publisher, she drew on the vernacular humor tradition to create a sympathetic comic woman who hid behind the deliberately self-effacing mask of ‘Josiah Allen's Wife.’ In 21 books between 1873 and 1914, she turned her pragmatic gaze on sex, race, religion, politics, foreign policy, and genteel values; she propagandized for votes, temperance, and feminism."
Library Journal "Excellently researched and well written. . . . Marietta Holley has at last a chance of regaining her place in a tradition she helped to create."
