One of the few Kansas women to have a place in "Who's Who" was the late
Amanda T. Jones of Junction City. She was one of the most prolific poets
of Kansas.
Her "Atlantic" is a story of the rebellion; "Utah and Other Poems;" "A
Prairie Idyl;" "Flowers and a Weed;" and "Rubaiyat of Solomon Valley"
are volumes of verse. Her prose: "Children's Stories," "Fairy Arrows"
and "The White Blackbird;" "A Psychic Autobiography," published in 1908;
"Man and Priest," a story of psychic detection; "Mother of Pioneers,"
and a novel ready for publication, "A Daughter of Wall St."
Miss Jones originated a working women's home and patented many
inventions, mostly household necessities.
