Career

Widely known by her pen-name, "Birch Arnold", her first poem, "The Meeting of the Waters," was published in the Madison Democrat around 1870 or 1871.[1] For six years, she was with the Chicago Herald, three years with the Chicago Chronicle, four years with the Detroit Journal, and was a writer of specials for numerous other papers and magazines. In 1877, she published her first novel, Until the Daybreak, which at once gave her a rank among story writers. In 1872, she commenced to write for the Toledo Blade and Locke's National Monthly. Her articles attracted a great deal of attention, and Locke told a friend that he intended to "adopt that promising young man;" his chagrin on learning that the young man was a young woman can be imagined. It was amusing to Bartlett to find her writing commented on as the "vigorous ideas of thinking men." To the world-at-large, she was often addressed as, "Birch Arnold, Esq." Ill health for several years prevented the continuous effort necessary for pronounced success, but she did continue to write lyrics, essays and miscellaneous writings from time to time. Bartlett was also a dramatic reader, often reciting her own poems in public.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Bartlett made her home in Detroit, Michigan. She was the first president of the Detroit Press Club (served five years); and she was a member of the Michigan Woman's State Press Association, Wolverine Press Club, and the National Press Association. She was a Congregationalist, she favored women's suffrage, and in politics, she was a Democrat.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Bartlett died on November 19, 1920, in Detroit, Michigan.[2]
