Allison Simmons, a 2005 Northwestern College graduate with majors in history and writing/rhetoric, has had an essay published in Popular Nineteenth-Century American Women Writers and the Literary Marketplace. The book was released by Cambridge Scholars Publishing in September.
Her essay, "Finding a Voice: Eliza Ann Dupuy and the Nineteenth-Century South," had its origins in the Junior Scholar research she did with Dr. Joonna Trapp, associate professor of English, in 2003-04. Simmons discovered Dupuy while researching the antebellum female writers who contributed to The Southern Literary Messenger Journal. Since very little research had been done into Dupuy's life, Simmons decided to focus on the writer for her senior honors research project in spring 2005.
