Autorenporträt
Martha Foote Crow (1854-1924) was an American author and educator whose literary contributions were significant in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She was born in Sackets Harbor, New York, and was known for her intellectual vigor, which led her to pursue higher education at a time when women's academic opportunities were limited. Crow earned her A.B. degree from Syracuse University in 1884 and later an A.M. degree in 1889. Furthermore, she gained a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1909, making her one of the first American women to earn a doctorate. Crow's academic focus was on English and comparative literature, which informed her work as a writer and educator (Crow, 1909). Her literary style often combined didactic elements with narrative storytelling, aiming to educate as well as entertain her readers. 'The World Above' offers an exemplar of her narrative capability and her keen interest in themes like cultural values, personal growth, and the role of women in society. Crow's contributions to literature and education have been acknowledged as pioneering efforts towards gender equality in academic circles. She served as the first president of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, which later became part of the American Association of University Women, underscoring her lifelong commitment to women's education (Gordy, 1928).
