Like A Girl of the Limberlost, Freckles, and Laddie, A Daughter of the Land is a romantic novel with a message. It was written by Gene Stratton-Porter, American feminist, environmentalist, author, and photographer. In it, protagonist Kate Bates leaves home and family to strike out on her own, finally realizing her dream of owning a farm and finding happiness. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.

A Daughter of the Land (1918) by Gene Stratton Porter is, above all, a love song of a woman and the land from which she sprung. Kate Bates, tireless and hardworking, strapping and robust, stubborn and headstrong, is a sterling example of the American work ethic, the youngest daughter of a tight-fisted land baron -- Adam Bates, the Land King of Bates Corners, Hartley, Indiana -- and the sibling of a whole brood of Bates sons and daughters. The family has an intense relationship with the many acres of land they possess. Kate is the only one who rebels against her father, running away to make a difficult life for herself on her own terms -- and to escape the one man she cannot have and who has touched her heart. Her world is filled with "man's work," with tough loves and passionate hates, with seasons of cultivating land other than her own, despair, disappointment, and fulfillment in the eleventh hour. All throughout, Kate makes the best of things and "takes the wings of morning" until she can truly fly. And always, the land, in its glory, beckons.

Mrs. Porter's stories are laid in Indiana, in the region of the Limberlost, a great swamp which has been "shorn, branded and tamed" by oilmen and lumbermen, who have driven away the many birds, moths and butterflies, and destroyed much of the plant life. "A Daughter of the Land" is Mrs. Porter's most ambitious novel. It is the life story of a girl up to the time of her second marriage. The heroine was the youngest of sixteen children and as a girl was denied the educational advantages given to her brothers. She had the courage to rebel and make her own life.

Kate Bates is another Gene Stratton-Porter unsung hero in the tradition of Elnora Comstock, of A Girl of the Limberlost, and Freckles and Laddie, of books of the same name. As the youngest child, and female, in a large prosperous farm family, she has been designated as her mother's helper in old age. Kate finds this unfair since all of the brothers have been given land and the older sisters sent to teacher training. With the help of a nephew and sister-in-law, she defies her parents, becomes a teacher, leaves home. Her real ambition, however, is to own and cultivate a large farm. After rejecting the easy path to her dream, she suffers through a bad marriage but ultimately acquires her land and achieves happiness.
