Autorenporträt
Louise Forsslund, born Mary Louise Foster on March 13, 1873, in Islip, New York, was an American novelist and short story writer who published under a pen name derived from her father s original surname before it was changed to Foster. Her father s varied life experiences heavily influenced her writing, providing authentic material for the rural settings and character-driven narratives that marked her work. In 1906, she married Charles Carey Waddell and continued writing until her premature death. She is best remembered for her 1909 novel Old Lady Number 31, which was later adapted into a successful stage play and a 1940 film titled The Captain Is a Lady. Forsslund s work explored social change, aging, and the quiet dignity of everyday life, particularly within small American communities. Her subtle, heartfelt prose and emphasis on emotional strength brought her a modest but lasting recognition during her brief career. She died on May 2, 1910, in Sayville, New York, at the age of 37. Her parents were Mary Foster and her father, originally named Forsslund.
