She claimed to have made a living in fifteen distinct and completely unrelated businesses, including bookkeeping, company management, journalism, working in a chemical laboratory, purchasing dry goods, and composing stories. She was a suffrage campaigner who opposed prohibition. Sheldon was the first poet in the United States to utilize her abilities to promote birth control. Sheldon's poetry appeared on the editorial page of The New York Times so frequently that her name became synonymous with the publication. Sheldon gained sociological information through his medical education and extensive study of the underprivileged. One of her accomplishments was a sociological lecture in verse called "The Alien," which was given in New York and internationally in 1915. One poem from this lecture, "The Night Court," was widely read and reproduced. Sheldon wrote many novels and serial stories, as well as many short stories and special pieces, and over a thousand poems, which appeared in practically every major magazine and newspaper in the United States. For many years, she also composed a great quantity of unsigned verses.
