Men have always had (wrong) opinions about women’s clothing! Do you think Tib wore “pneumonia” blouses? Betsy? Who was daring enough during high school!

So, what did Maud think of Midge and Tib? You can read her notes here, plus a letter from Midge to Maud in the 50s.

WE DID IT!!! We raised $34, 412.96 by the end of Maud’s birthday yesterday, April 25.

I am so proud of all of us. Thank you for your donations!! I hope you have loved your perks.

Donations made through April 30, 2024 will still receive the perks associated with their amount, so it’s not too late to get Maud’s teenage short stories, the video of Emily’s slough, the art, etc.

[betsy-tacy-society]

So we've given teases of Maud's original Puget Sound "essay" and the gorgeous prints you can get for your donations, now take a little peak at our video devoted to Emily Webster and her beloved slough!

The slough is a real place in Mankato, MN, called Rasmussen Woods. it’s smaller than it was in Emily’s day, but no less beautiful.

Donate $50 and you can get access to a gorgeous video that pairs photos of the Woods through all of the seasons with text from Emily of Deep Valley and really centers her story in her beloved slough.

Betsy-Tacy Society Fundraiser

Did you know that we own both Betsy and Tacy's houses? We do! They are both from the 1890s, and require upkeep. Last fall, we had to replace Tacy's roof, which led to discovering a ton of mold and lead on the second floor. We're taking care of that now, but it's wiping out our savings--it cost almost $30k!!!

Want a peek at one of the donation perks? In Heaven to Betsy, we get to read Betsy's essay about the Puget Sound, that was actually a funny fictional story instead. Here's a peek at the original, Maud's high school version! Donate $100 to get the full story (plus another of Maud's early stories!).

1. What would your hairstyle be?

2. Which do you see on which girls in the Crowd?

I like the high pomp and the Empire for myself. My hair skills mean I’d probably get the Drooping pomp most often, ha.

You see Carney being practical with the Everyday and Rat-less. And of course Tacy has the Coronets.

Pete is so much like I have always imagined Cab to be! Funny and kind. I love his reading style—you can tell he’s a radio personality.
