Jump to
Lucy Hamilton Hooper (née, Jones; January 20, 1835 – August 31, 1893) was an American poet, journalist, editor, playwright, and translator. Soon after her marriage in 1854, a commercial crisis ruined her husband's business and she was compelled to start writing professionally. She contributed regularly to newspapers and magazines, and was associate editor of Our Daily Fare, issued in connection with the fair held by the U.S. Sanitary Commission in Philadelphia in 1864, and to which she presented the first hundred copies of a small collection of her poems published in that year. She was associate editor of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine from its establishment in 1868 until 1870, when she made her first trip to Europe.
