Emily Dickinson lived within the constraints of nineteenth-century American society, in which women were limited by rules and etiquette on proper behavior and actions. Through her writing, Dickinson transcended the limitations and social responsibilities of middle-class women of her day. This illuminating biography explains not just the poet and her poetry, but the woman and her realm. Excerpts of Dickinson's poems and letters help accent this essential young adult biography.
