Extractions: In the 1890s, one of the most well-known popular magazine contributors signed her stories and essays "Octave Thanet." That pseudonym was used by an Iowan, Alice French (1850-1934). All seventeen of her books seven novels, one book of photography, nine short story collections-are available in the Iowa Authors Collection in the University of Iowa Library. To the student of culture and to the generally curious, these books offer a glimpse into the life and ideas that were important to the reading public at the end of the nineteenth century. Alice French was born in 1850 in Andover, Massachusetts, of a prominent and wealthy family. When she was five years old, her family moved to Davenport, Iowa, where she lived until her death. She was well-educated; as a girl she read extensively and as a young woman she was graduated from Andover Academy. She also traveled extensively during her lifetime; once she even accompanied Andrew Carnegie and several friends on a coaching trip throughout England and Scotland. Busy with the activities of a socially prominent family, she did not really begin writing seriously until she was in her late twenties. When she did, she adopted her pseudonym, Octave Thanet, in order to disguise her sex. Under that name, she sold her first story to Lippincott's Magazine in 1878 and, thereafter, she was published frequently until 1913.
