worked as a servant, a seamstress, and a Civil War nurse before becoming a
millionaire celebrity writing “moral pap for the young,” as she called it.
Under pen names and anonymously, she also wrote stories with enough drugs, sex
and crime to prove the author was no “little” woman. This documentary tells the
story of this remarkable woman’s quest to rescue her family from poverty and to
find wealth, fame and happiness for herself.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="Clarissa"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;
