Biography - A Short Wiki
American poet, writer, and suffragist remembered for Forsaking All Others, The White Cliffs, and Are Women People? Her 1916 novel, Come Out of the Kitchen, was made into both a play and a film.
She was born into a prominent New York family; however, her family had lost its fortune by the time Miller began her studies at Barnard College, so she wrote and published to help pay her way to degrees in astronomy and mathematics.
Her great great grandfather, William Duer, signed the U.S. Articles of Confederation in 1778.

""When a woman like that whom I've seen so much, All of a sudden drops out of touch; Is always busy and never can, Spare you a moment, it means a man."
