Occupation journalist Secondary Texts: Comments Secondary sources that have explicitly commented on the respective item or raised important concerns/questions that are of interest "She often used her columns to promote her friends, including the sculptor [Harriet Hosmer] who had made her laugh so hard in Italy. Through picnics and drawing room conversations, Harriet once again advanced her career." (Culkin 63) "In Field's case, as in most other instances of the networking Cushman initiated, it was the emotional support even more than the material support of letters of introduction, help in finding studios and apartments, access to source of patronage, that ripped the balance in the careers of the women Cushman befriended. Her model of a woman who exercised power over others through art captivated and encouraged them" (Parrott 329) Field's "first venture into journalism was her travel letters in the Boston Courier. (Travel letters were a popular feature of most American newspapers.) From 1860 to 1865, KF kept a scrapbook of her travel letters from Italy, as well as those from New York and Newport, which were published in the Weekly Picayune, the Boston Transcript, the Massachusetts Springfield Republican, and the weekly Boston Commonwealth. The scrapbook of 143 pages in now in BPL [Boston Public Library]." (Moss 15, n. 1) "[Kate Field] would soon return to America, where her contributions to the Atlantic Monthly and other interests she shared with Annie (including Charles Dickens and a new women's club) would eventuate in invitations to Charles Street and lively exchanges of letters, though never intimacy."

We went into the theatre to ask mother, who consented, and at Wayman Crow's house we went up to the third story and played till Mary Eliot came in."
