London's first novel, published in 1902, was something of a critical failure, offset, of course, by the success of CALL OF THE WILD just one year later. But A DAUGHTER OF THE SNOWS did establish him as a writer of strong, independent female characters, contrary to other writers of his time. From one of the characters of this novel, after parting company with the heroine: "'Jove!' he muttered, doffing his cap gallantly. 'There is a woman!' And a sudden hunger seized him, and a yearning to see himself mirrored always in the gray eyes of Frona Welse. He was not analytical; he did not know why; but he knew that with her he could travel to the end of the earth."

Jack London "Daughter of the Snows",
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Daughter of the Snows (Optimized for Kindle) (Kindle Edition)
Got interested in the history of Alaska after a recent cruise there. This book by Jack London is like reading a first hand account (he was there) of the "Stampeders" and the hardships of getting to the Yukon looking for a fortune that few found. Easy, interesting read!
