	Jewett, Sarah Orne \| Introduction: Feminism in Literature
		Jewett was never an advocate for women's rights, but critics have noted that she presents portraits of strong, self-reliant, and optimistic women, most of whom are unmarried, and shows a concern for women's issues in her works.
		Jewett was born September 3, 1849, in the rural port community of South Berwick, Maine, the daughter of Theodore H. Jewett, a wealthy and respected physician, and Caroline F. Perry.
		The popularity of Jewett's work declined after the 1920s, and although some of her stories, most notably "A White Heron," were read in survey courses of American literature, she was considered a minor figure and cited merely as an example of a local colorist.

		Sarah Orne Jewett's place in American letters was assured when this acclaimed collection of stories about her native state of Maine was first published in 1896.
		In Sarah Orne Jewwtt's The Country of the Pointed Furs we find ourselves sucked in to a dull town of the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, and as the narrator recounts her visits with the towns people we sit and wait for something to happen but it never does.
		One reader states in her review that "Sarah Orne Jewitt draws the reader into The Country of the Pointed Firs with scenic descriptions, honest characters, and conversations written with true dialect and emotion."

		Jewett recognizes in WH the threat posed to same-sex female bonding by the allure of heterosexuality in the person of the hunter, who is sexy and deals in violence and death: if Sylvia falls for him, she will be participating, symbolically, in her own death (the killing and stuffing of the heron).
		Jewett was widely read and admired in the late nineteenth century, but until recently she has been dismissed in the academy as minor, regional, slight.
		Jewett admired Harriet Beecher Stowe's New England writing and therefore is fruitfully thought of in conjunction with Stowe.

		A contemporary and friend of Willa Cather, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Julia Ward Howe, Sarah Orne Jewett is widely recognized as a pathfinder in American literary history, courageously pursuing a road less traveled that led the way for other women to follow.

		Jewett (1849-1909) drew heavily on the New Englanders she encountered growing up in South Berwick, Maine, to populate her well-crafted short stories (The Country of the Pointed Firs, 1896) and character sketches (Deep haven, 1877), which were suffused by her profound love of 19th-century rural life.
		Although Silverthorne acknowledges Fields's and Jewett's deep regard for one another, she feels that there is not enough evidence to establish whether theirs was a sexual relationship.
		Jewett comes alive as Silverthorne reveals her development from a daring, nature-loving, day-dreaming child to an independent, caring, intelligent writer in the company of distinguished writers like James Russell Lowell, William Dean Howells, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry James.
