About the Author

Gertrude Atherton became California's first successful woman author by breaking all the rules. Beginning in 1883, when only men were professional writers, she earned a living with her pen. She aggressively sought publicity before such behavior was proper. And she told stories about upper-class women in her native California when others wrote only of the Wild West. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
