4.9/5 (12392 ratings)

Description:In KATHARINE LEE BATES: From Sea to Shining Sea, biographer Melinda M. Ponder delves into the remarkable life of the woman behind this nationally treasured poem. Teacher, poet, community builder and patriot, Katharine Lee Bates challenged Americans to make their country the best it could become in its values and literature.Drawing on extensive research in Bates family diaries, letters, and memoirs, Ponder brings Katharine to vivid life in her journeys from her childhood in Falmouth, Massachusetts during the mid-1800s, where she felt she had been "rock'd in a clamshell," to Wellesley College, Boston, Oxford, Spain and Egypt.Although her passion was poetry, Katharine's three alluring suitors (two men and one woman) pulled her into major reform movements in a changing America. She was a dynamic woman with public triumphs, an antiwar activist poet during America's tumultuous growth into a world power, who suffered personal heartaches as a single woman faced with choosing between marriage and a career. She refused to let an impoverished childhood in a Cape Cod village or the closed doors of male-only bastions -- the ministry, graduate schools, or the Yankee literary establishment -- prevent her from creating an inspiring life. This book is for those who love "America the Beautiful" and those who root for the unlikely triumph of a complicated woman "from sea to shining sea."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
