SUMMARY
Library of Congress authority-control biographical record for Harriet N. Austin. This session's fetch tooling received an automated-access block (HTTP 403) from id.loc.gov on a direct re-verification pass, though an earlier AI-assisted fetch during research returned readable content; the record is treated cautiously as a result, and no verbatim quotation from it is used in this bundle. Per that earlier read, the record cites her own book The American Costume, or, Woman's Right to Good Health (1861, title page naming her Harriet N. Austin, M.D.); cites A. O. Bunnell's Dansville: Historical, Biographical, Descriptive (1902, p. 210) as recording her as a physician, a graduate of the hydropathic college administered by Dr. R. T. Trall, a practitioner at the Jackson Sanitorium, and an editor, born 31 August 1826 in Connecticut and died in North Adams, Massachusetts in May 1891 at the home of Dr. James Caleb Jackson; and includes a 2010 note describing her as a physician, advocate of women's dress reform, and adopted daughter of Dr. James Caleb Jackson (1811-1895).
