Eliza (Lida) Calvert Obenchain (1856-1935), who also wrote as Eliza Calvert Hall, was an American author, poet, essayist, and folk art historian. She was born and raised in Kentucky. Her family life was changed dramatically after her father's bankruptcy. In 1879, Scribner's magazine published two of her poems. Influenced by the Woman's Journal, a suffragist newspaper, she started to write in support of suffrage and to work for the Kentucky Equal Rights Association. In 1898 Cosmopolitan published her first major short story, Sally Ann's Experience. A collection of her short stories was compiled in 1907 as Aunt Jane of Kentucky. Two further collections of stories followed: The Land of Long Ago (1909) and Clover and Blue Grass (1916), and a novel, To Love and to Cherish (1911).
