Laura Benet
worked in a settlement house, and it looks like her Fair Bred (poems), 1921, is fair game! Sister of the other Benets, looks like lifetime freelance author: lots of nonfiction, bios, children's lit.
Eunice Tietjens, the very well known; her Chinese prose poems are very interesting
Babette Deutsch, of poetocs books fame, another "woman supporting herself by her pen" style author of a bit of everything
Florence Ripley Mastin, what's interesting is she has movies and telephone poems, years before Frank O'Hara;
Out of the dark cup
Your voice broke like a flower.
It trembled, swaying on its taut stem.
The caress in its touch
Made my eyes close.
