Autorenporträt
Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton (1857-1948) was a prominent American author known for her bold treatment of social issues and deft characterizations of women in a changing society. Atherton was born Gertrude Franklin Horn in San Francisco, California, and married George H.B. Atherton, but would later be known primarily by her writing under her own name following her husband's death. Her literary career began with the publication of her first novel, 'The Randolphs of Redwood: A Romance', in 1888. Atherton's work often explored the complexities of California's history and social fabric, drawing on her experiences and keen observations of the American West. She gained notoriety for her novel 'Black Oxen' (1923), which was considered controversial at the time for its exploration of women's independence and sexuality. With a prolific output of more than 50 novels and numerous short stories, essays, and articles, Atherton has left an indelible mark on American literature. Her book 'Life in the War Zone' (1916) reflects her time in Europe during World War I and presents a vivid portrayal of the period's turbulence. Renowned for her strong, independent characters and incisive social commentaries, Atherton's literary style is characteristic of the transformative era in which she lived and wrote, and her works continue to be read and studied for their historical and cultural significance.
