Autorenporträt
Grace Greenwood, born Sara Jane Clarke in 1823, was a pioneering figure in American literature, best known for her works targeted at younger audiences and her advocacy for women's rights and abolitionism. Greenwood carved a niche for herself as a writer of children's literature, a lecturer, and a journalist. Her foray into writing commenced with the publication of poetry and articles for various periodicals, but it was 'Stories and Legends of Travel and History, for Children' that cemented her reputation as a storyteller who could enchant the minds of the young with tales that weaved history and legend. Greenwood's literary style was marked by an empowering, vivid narrative that often paralleled her own life's quests for gender equality and social reform. She had the notable distinction of being one of the first women reporters in Washington, D.C., and was a contributor to numerous magazines, including the 'Saturday Evening Post' and 'Godey's Lady's Book.' Grace Greenwood's contribution to literature not only lies in the stories she penned for children but also in the broader implications of her writings, which fought stereotypes and championed the idea that women, equally to men, could offer intellectual teachings through the art of storytelling. She passed away in 1904, leaving behind a legacy encapsulated in her literary works and her tireless work for societal progress.
