Pauline Hopkin’s literary activity to Harlem Renaissance

a tale revolving around racial dispossession and its accompanying potential for violence, Hopkins utilizes a story-within-a-story technique to recount the brutal murder of a white man who has turned against his own daughters after learning that their mother was part black.
The story is told by the respected Doctor Thornton. The story is set in a time when a woman's destiny was determined by the man she married. It was a time when a woman had to depend on a man to control all her financial matters even if the money was originally hers.
Recognized as the first African American mystery story, Talma Gordon was originally published in the October 1900 edition of The Colored American Magazine, America's first monthly periodical covering African American arts and culture.

Conclusion

I personally took many advantage from the life and performance of Pauline Hopkins. She did many great works no matter how difficult the situation was. Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins was perhaps the most prolific black female writer of her time. Between 1900 and 1904, writing mainly for Colored American Magazine, she published four novels, at least seven short stories, and numerous articles that often addressed the injustices and challenges facing African Americans in post–Civil War America. In Pauline Hopkins and the American Dream, Alisha Knight provides the first full-length critical analysis of Hopkins’s work. Scholars have frequently situated Hopkins within the domestic, sentimental tradition of nineteenth-century women's writing, with some critics observing that aspects of her writing, particularly its emphasis on the self-made man, seem out of place within the domestic tradition. Knight argues that Hopkins used this often-dismissed theme to critique American society's ingrained racism and sexism. In her Famous Men and Famous Women series for Colored American Magazine, she constructed her own version of the success narrative by offering models of African American self-made men and women. Meanwhile, in her fiction, she depicted heroes who fail to achieve success or must leave the United States to do so.
Author Pauline Hopkins produced work in a variety of genres: short stories, novels, a musical, a primer of facts. Like other African Americans of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, she engaged with the history of the Nile Valley before the discipline of Egyptology was firmly established in the sphere of higher education in the US. Her serialized novel Of One Blood, published in 1902 and 1903, draws on a variety of sources, such as the English historian George Rawlinson, to tell a fictionalized story set in the contemporary present of the Upper Nile and to address issues related to the ancient past of that region. Her main character, Reuel, embodies links across time—ancient and contemporary—and space—the United States and the Nile River Valley. Through him, she shows the power and relevance of ancient history to contemporary life. And she was a pioneer in her use of traditional romance novels as a medium for exploring racial and social themes. In 1988, Oxford University Press reprinted all of her novels and most of her short stories in its Schomberg Library of Nineteenth-Century Black Women Writers series, which was edited by Henry Louis Gates. She is best remembered as a pioneer in using the traditional literary form of the romantic novel to explore and challenge racial and gender representations of middle-class Blacks in the early part of the twentieth century.
In addition, during her tenure at the Colored American Magazine -- one of the first major literary magazines targeted at a largely African American audience --, she is credited with laying the groundwork for the evolving African American literary style that would later become associated with the literati of the Harlem Renaissance. She has been characterized as "One of the most prolific African American woman writers and the most influential literary editors of the first decade of the twentieth century". Despite the climate of racism and other social injustices going on during this time, Hopkins made her voice, especially the black voice, known throughout history. She was fearful of the consequences of her actions, but also knew it was necessary for the world to know the struggles of being black in the United States in the 1900s. Other scholars, and Hopkins herself, have credited the boldness of her writing to her parents and the example they set for her. "The Northup legacy that Pauline Hopkins would claim as her own was one of impressive public action, fearless civic ambition and strong community consciousness.
Hopkins and her work within Boston’s antebellum abolitionism, post-bellum black theater, woman’s era Progressivism, and black nationalism during the era of World War I. Born in Maine and raised in Boston, where she spent all but a few years of her life, Hopkins’s Colored American Magazine (1900–1904) and New Era Magazine chronicle African American political, cultural, and literary discourse in a region of the country—New England—that is often overlooked for its impact on African American history at the turn of the 20th century. And also Hopkins wrote, “Literature, politics, theology, history have been ransacked and perverted to prove the hopeless inferiority of the Negro and the design of God that he should serve by the right of color and physique”. African Americans cannot combat these things if they do not possess the desire to learn. Too many of us have been beguiled into believing that scholarship somehow makes an individual less of an African American. Being educated should be viewed as a prize, and it is not something that should cease after obtaining a degree. An education grants versatility. It allows an individual to be a contributor to the world, not just a consumer. As today world requires talented and wide- minded people if we learn the life of people like Pauline Hopkins we can be more smart and witty minded because this kind of people real role models to young generation. We also must work hard as them and we must study deeply the history of our own literature, pay great attention to literature. We also need to know well the writers who contributed to the development of our literature. Only then will we able to make a significant contribution to the dissemination of our literature.
