Questa poetessa e drammaturga americana ottenne inizialmente riconoscimenti per i suoi versi, caratterizzati da delicatezza, chiarezza e una qualità ultraterrena, influenzati da Shakespeare e dai Preraffaelliti. Il suo lavoro successivo, in particolare nel dramma, si è evoluto per affrontare una crescente preoccupazione per l'ingiustizia sociale. Peabody attinse spesso a leggende e figure storiche per i suoi drammi in versi, reinventando narrazioni familiari con una prospettiva letteraria fresca. I suoi scritti, quindi, creano un ponte tra forme tradizionali e questioni sociali contemporanee.
