While Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins' imaginative creations live on in massive-franchise form, her name isn’t widely known.
MIT rarely allows Hollywood films to be shot on their campus. So it was a surprise when an email went out in 2021, alerting students that a film titledBlack Panther: Wakanda ForeverBut something else was special about’s filming location. The MIT scenes were shot a stone’s throw from where, a century before, Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins worked at the Institute.
Deeply enmeshed in the intellectual and activist community around Beacon Hill in the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, Hopkins was a groundbreaker from the time she was a teen as a playwright and performer.Born in 1859 in Portland, Maine, she moved to Boston at a young age and remained in Massachusetts for most of her life.
To call Hopkins a science fiction writer, or a mystery writer, or a romance writer would be a vast oversimplification—akin to calling MIT a good school to go to for math. Hopkins’ fiction innovated in its time with lasting impact. It planted imaginative seeds that sprouted far down the next century of storytelling.
