"Marietta Holley (1836-1926), was a popular United States humorist who used satire to comment on U.S. society and politics. Her successful series of "Samantha" books revolved around the character of Samantha Allen, a wise small-town woman who went on satirical adventures throughout big-city America, and her foolish husband, Josiah Allen. Holley was so skilled with satire and so popular that she was often compared to Mark Twain." -- Wikipedia.
