The Ella Higginson Recovery Project was created by Dr. Laura Laffrado of Western Washington University as part of her work to reintroduce Higginson’s engaging writings to a new audience of appreciative readers and to draw attention to the forgotten position of the Pacific Northwest region in United States literature from the late nineteenth- and early twentieth centuries. Other regions of the United States are very well-known in earlier American literature while the Pacific Northwest remains overlooked. Dr. Laffrado is in the process of reestablishing Higginson’s once celebrated literary reputation by restoring her name and her works to their justly merited place in U.S. literature.
