My name is Lydia Jackson Emerson. I live in Concord, Mass. and go by Lydian because my husband, Waldo, is annoyed by the way New Englanders often mispronounce words ending in "a" by ending them in "r". So to save me from being called Lydier, I now go by Lydian. It does not bother me too much, However, I ocassionally find myself upset at the fact that my husband will not call me by my real name. I very much like his nicknames for me though: "Asia" and "Queenie"; I find them sweet and often times fitting. People consider me a devout Christian, to which I do not argue. My faith is my virtue and is very dear to me for I believe a Life without God, is no Life at all. I consider myself to be quite the witty conversationalist. Some may go as far to say that I am a feisty debater. Again, I would not argue with such an assesment of my character. I feel that women have a difficult time being heard and one should never be ashamed to stand her ground and go beyond being seen. Although I do not agree with everything Transcendental, I do consider myself a member of the Transcendental Club and feel that my devotion to our Savior keeps the group grounded, ralistic, and practical. I am highly opposed to slavery. No one has the right to control another, most of all through brutal means. In regards to women, marriage to an unfit mate is equal to slavery. I would even go as far to say that a childless woman would perhaps do well not to marry.
