Neith Boyce

Neith Boyce (1872–1951), a prolific novelist, playwright, and poet, was a leading literary figure of the Progressive Era. She helped Gertrude Stein to publish Three Lives, cofounded the Provincetown Players theater company, and wrote “The Girl Bachelor,” a popular and pioneering column in Vogue about life as a single woman in New York City. Her best-known novel, The Bond (1908), is based on her famously open marriage to the radical journalist Hutchins Hapgood.
