Her first collection of poetry, Hill Fragments, was published in 1925, and featured an introduction from Arthur Symons, as well as illustrations by Kahlil Gibran.

In the 1930s, Mason-Manheim was a regular in the "Social" pages of the New York Times [8] [9] [10]

In 1942, Mason-Manheim married Malcolm McKesson, whom she had met at a debutante ball. McKesson claimed that the union was never consummated; however, the pair remained married until Mason-Manheim's death in 1990. [11]

Mason-Manheim wrote The Cage of Years, which was published in 1949. The work featured illustrations by Theodore Conrath and is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. [12]

Mason-Manheim devised the "Mason sonnet" in 1953. This poetic form is composed of fourteen lines, divided into an octave and a sestet, with the pivot coming after the octave. The lines are in iambic pentameter, with rhyme scheme ABCABCBC DBADDA. [13]

In November 2020, Chapman announced an attempted takeover of the Proud Boys organization, as well as a plan to reform the group as an explicitly white supremacist organization. The attempted coup was not successful.
