Prospects of a Woman by Wendy Voorsanger, and discovered a new Kickass Woman in its pages. One of the characters is loosely based on real-life photographer Anne Brigman, a passionate traveller and artist who was a leading figure in the Photo-Secession Movement in the arts. The real-life photographer was in California later than her fictional counterpart, but the real and fictional women share a common artistic style and personal philosophy.
Anne was born Anne Wardrope Nott to missionary parents in Hawaii in 1869. The family moved to California in 1885 when Anne was 16. She married a sea captain and went on voyages with him. Together they became part of the artistic community in California. They seem to have gotten along well up to a point – and that point came in around 1900, when they separated due to Anne wanting to devote herself to art rather than matrimony.
Wendy Voorsanger, Cal Poly grad and author of the award-winning novel,
Prospects of a Woman talks with correspondent Tom Wilmer. Voorsanger shares insights about the book, and her work chronicling exceptional women throughout California s history featured on her blog She is California.
Among the numerous rave reviews of Prospects of a Woman, Janis Cooke Newman, author of
Mary: Mrs. A. Lincoln wrote: “I loved this surprisingly feminist story of Gold Rush–era California! Elisabeth Parker is a heroine to fall in love with―plucky, sensuous, courageous, and clear-eyed. It is a rare and unusual pleasure to―finally―have a narrative of the Gold Rush told from a woman’s point of view.”
