Early lifeHull was born in Albion, Michigan, as the eldest child of her family on March 28, 1888 to Warren C. and Louise Hull. Her father, was a former teacher and school superintendent of the Albion Public Schools from 1887 to 1898. At a young age, Helen and her brother became financially responsible for their family.[3] Helen went to Lansing High School and for her college education she went to Michigan State University. After graduating, she became a school teacher herself. CareerIn 1914, she began her career as a writer, which lasted for over fifty years. Her first published piece was a one-act play in the suffrage magazine, The Woman's Journal.[4] Throughout her career, Hull managed to publish seventeen novels and sixty-five short stories. Her short stories appeared in more than fourteen different American magazines, including Colliers, Century, Saturday Evening Post, Harper's, Cosmopolitan, and Ladies Home Journal. The topic of her writing included familial relationships, gender differences, and social issues, including race and women's economic status.[4] Despite being involved in radical politics early in life, Hull mainly addressed issues through the stories of her characters.[4] It is speculated that her decreased involvement in the political scene was due to her publisher's concern that Hull's lesbianism would be "detrimental to her career."[1] Hull died in 1971 at the age of 83.[1] Quest and IslandersHull's first novel, Quest, received generally positive reviews upon its publication in 1922.[4] Another one of her notable novels, Islanders, was published in 1927 and is set in the Midwest during the mid-19th century to World War I. It tells the story of a single woman who has to take care of her parents, her siblings, and her siblings' children. Through the growth of this intelligent and inventive woman, Hull poses important questions about the role of a woman during this time period.[2] ReviewsHer fictional pieces were praised by noteworthy sources including the New York Times, the New York Herald Tribune, and the Boston Transcript.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tz5JXML3R14C|title=Restless Spirits: Ghost Stories by American Women, 1872-1926|last=Lundie|first=Catherine A.|date=1996-01-01|publisher=Univ of Massachusetts Press|isbn=1558490566|language=en}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hull, Helen Rose}}{{US-novelist-stub}}2. ^1 {{Cite journal|date=1988-01-01|title=Back Matter|jstor=40003812|journal=Women's Studies Quarterly|volume=16|issue=1/2}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.persephonebooks.co.uk/helen-hull/|title=Helen Hull|website=www.persephonebooks.co.uk|access-date=2016-10-06}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite journal|last=Miller|first=Patricia McClelland|date=1989-01-01|title=The fiction of Helen Rose Hull|url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/303699587|language=English|location=United States -- Connecticut|publisher=The University of Connecticut}} 10 : 1888 births|1971 deaths|American women novelists|Columbia University faculty|Wellesley College faculty|20th-century American novelists|20th-century American women writers|LGBT writers from the United States|Novelists from Massachusetts|Novelists from New York (state) |
