Elfrida De Renne Barrow (1884–1970) was an author and poet who has been honored as a Georgia Woman of Achievement.[1] Barrow joined the Georgia Historical Society in 1920 as a curator and one of the first women allowed into the organization.[1] In her years as curator, some of her articles were published in the journal,[2] and she also began to have her poetry published.
In 1920, Barrow co-founded The Poetry Society of Georgia with four other women, calling themselves the "Prosodists."[3] The women brought poet and editor Harriet Monroe to Savannah to review their poetry, leading to Monroe's journal Poetry featuring Barrow's poetry.[3] The journal continued to publish Barrow's poetry for many years.[4]
Wormsloe Foundationedit
In 1930, Barrow took over her brother's mortgage at the Wormsloe Plantation, where the family had upheld a tradition of printing publications and building a library.[5] When Barrow and her husband moved to Athens, she made the library collection available to the University of Georgia.[5] In 1951, Barrow founded the Wormsloe Foundation, turning over the majority of the publications.[1]
