How-ever, Freeman expanded her scope and produced a variety of fictional genres, including mysteries and ghost stories. While she wrote a number of novels, she is best known for her short stories, especially those that focused on the New England region. She lived with family friends and continued her writing, eventually supporting herself by publishing important works recognized and praised by William Dean Howells, Henry James, and other major writers of the day. By her mid-thirties, Freeman’s parents had died, and she was alone with only a small inheritance. After high school, Freeman attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary and later completed her studies at West Brattleboro Seminary while she pursued writing as a career.
Wilkins Freeman was born in 1852 in Randolph, Massachusetts.
