About this person
Sarah Tittle Bolton née Barrett was an American poet and women's rights activist who is considered an unofficial poet laureate of Indiana. Bolton collaborated with Robert Dale Owen during Indiana's 1850-1851 constitutional convention to include the recognition of women's property rights in the revised state constitution of 1851. Bolton was little known outside of Indiana, and her writings have been mostly forgotten. "Paddle Your Own Canoe" (1850), her most famous poem, and "Indiana," a poetic tribute to her longtime home, are among her best-known poems.
