Tato americká básnířka a dramatička proslula svou ranou poezií, která se vyznačovala křehkostí, jasností a jistou nadpozemskostí, ovlivněnou Shakespearem a Pre-Rafaeliány. Později ve své tvorbě, zejména v dramatech, začala projevovat rostoucí zájem o sociální nespravedlnost. Její veršovaná dramata často čerpala z legend a historických postav, čímž oživovala známé příběhy novým, literárním pohledem. Její dílo tak představuje most mezi tradičními formami a moderními společenskými otázkami.
