Demetra Kenneth Brown (1877 – 1946) was a Greek-American author. Her early life was passed in close touch with the Turkish people. She ran away from home to escape an arranged marriage, and came to the United States with the family of a relative. '
In 1904 she was married to Kenneth Brown, novelist, and soon began to write. Her second book, Haremlik, published in 1909, commanded wide attention. It consisted of 10 studies of Turkish women.
Amy Lawrence Lowell (1874 – 1925) was an American poet of the imagist school. She posthumously won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1926. Lowell was a lesbian, and in 1912 she met the actress Ada Dwyer Russell, who would become her lover. Russell is the subject of many of Lowell's more erotic works, most notably the love poems contained in Two Speak Together, a subsection of Pictures of the Floating World. The two women traveled to England together, where Lowell met Ezra Pound, who at once became a major influence and a major critic of her work. Pound considered Lowell's embrace of Imagism to be a kind of hijacking of the movement. Lowell has been linked romantically to writer Mercedes de Acosta, but the only evidence of any contact between them is a brief correspondence about a planned memorial for Duse.
Lovely inscription by Amy Lowell to a Barbara Higginson "in memory of our six days in Constantinople." This inscription is dated 1908, before Lowell met Russell!
