About
Mary Katherine Keemle "Kate" Field was an American journalist, correspondent, editor, lecturer, and actress, of eccentric talent. She never married. She seemed ready to give an opinion on any subject. She took public stances on controversial topics: opposing the Statue of Liberty as a poor use for an island, opposing the prohibition of alcohol (temperance), supporting the wine industry, for female clothing reform, opposing the immigration of "scum". She believed the U.S. was the best country in the world, and its people the most civilized.
