Raising the profile of forgotten female authors is a passion for Dr. Etta Madden, professor of English at Missouri State University.

Her research on one such author — Anne Hampton Brewster — was recognized with two prestigious research fellowships:

• The National Endowment for the Humanities’ Summer Seminar on Italy in the Age of the Risorgimento
• The Mellon Foundation’s fellowship to study at the Library Company of Philadelphia
