		As a member of New York's social elite, Emma Lazarus enjoyed a privileged childhood, nurtured by her family to become a respected poet recognized throughout the country for verses about her Jewish heritage.

		Emma was also very much persuaded by her Jewish heritage and that influence was portrayed not only in her writing, but also in her actions with the world in which she was living.

		It is important to note that Emma was not alive when the statue was erected, but her imagination surpassed her time to therefore, become engraved on the base of the Statue of Liberty on a bronze plate.

		In "Echoes" (probably written in 1880) Lazarus spoke self-consciously about women as poets, describing the boundaries drawn around a woman poet who cannot share with men the common literary subjects of the "dangers, wounds, and triumphs" of war and must therefore transform her own "elf music" and "echoes" into song.

	JWA - Emma Lazarus - The New Colossus
		Emma Lazarus wrote "The New Colossus" in 1883 for an art auction "In Aid of the Bartholdi Pedestal Fund." While France had provided the statue itself, American fundraising efforts like these paid for the Statue of Liberty's pedestal.
		In 1903, sixteen years after her death, Lazarus' sonnet was engraved on a plaque and placed in the pedestal as a memorial.
		The compassion of the lines "huddled masses yearning to breathe free" welcomes the tired immigrants, but the following image of the "wretched refuse of your teaming shore" hints at the condescension these refugees were to suffer.

	Emma Lazarus by Chandrika Chowdhry
		Emma Lazarus, a nineteenth century American poet, is best remembered for her sonnet, "The New Colossus," whose words, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." are inscribed on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty.
		However, as observed through modern perspective, Lazarus is seen as a person writing from the outside, a person set apart from the people she sought to guide and aide, a defender of the Jews who is hardly one of them.
		Lazarus choice of the title is an allusion to the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, a giant bronze statue of the Sun God Helios that had overlooked the Greek City's harbor.

		Emma Lazarus was a true woman, too distinctly feminine to wish to be exceptional or to stand alone and apart, even by virtue of superiority.
		To be born a Jewess was a distinction for Emma Lazarus, and she in turn conferred distinction upon her race.

		Ms Roth-Young's book is divided into two sections, the first consisting of a biography of Emma Lazarus the second consisting of a selection of her letters discovered and published for the first time by the author.
		The "myth" sees Emma Lazarus as a reclusive spinster who discovered her Jewish roots in the early 1880 and changed from a late-Victorian poet with traditional late romantic themes to an ardent poet of Judaism.
		This book is a good introduction to Emma Lazarus who, I think, deserves the status Ms Roth-Young thinks she already has as something of an American icon due to her association with the Statue of Liberty.
