Hopkins Society Members at Boston’s African Meeting House, 2009
The Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins Society was officially established at the Spring 2009 American Literature Association Conference.
Our purpose in establishing the Society is to encourage interest in Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins: her life, her writings, and the issues she explored. The PEHS aims to foster scholarship and dialogue on Hopkins and her era through conference meetings, publications, and pedagogical resources useful to scholars, teachers, and community members at large.
