Biographical History

Grace King was the third child and eldest daughter of William Woodson King, a prosperous New Orleans attorney, and Sarah Ann Miller King. Impoverished by the Civil War, Grace King lived in New Orleans for the remainder of her life with her mother, brother, and two unmarried sisters, although she was able to travel in the United States and Europe and cultivated relationships with notables in the worlds of writing and publishing. Her own novels and short stories examined French Louisiana and Creole culture and the active roles taken by Southern women after the Civil War. They were concerned largely with New Orleans, set during the period of the Civil War and Reconstruction, and promoted an understanding of the sufferings of the South during this period. She also wrote narrative historical works on Louisiana history. Her memoirs, Memories of a Southern Woman of Letters, were published posthumously in 1932.
