Biographical History
American novelist and non-fiction writer.
California author.
Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton was an American novelist, short-story writer, biographer, and literary critic.
Calif. novelist.
Gertrude Atherton was a California novelist who was noted as an author of fiction and nonfiction.
American novelist.
Gertrude Franklin Horn was born on October 30, 1857 in San Francisco, daughter of Thomas L. Horn and Gertrude Franklin. Her parents separated two years later. In 1876 Gertrude eloped with George H. Bowen Atherton, the son of a wealthy merchant, and lived with her mother in law on the family estate. During this period Gertrude began writing under pseudonyms, since society took a dim view of women writers. Following her husband's death in 1887, Gertrude continued writing and moved to England, where her work met with acclaim. She moved back to San Francisco by 1932 and died there in 1948. Many of her novels deal with historical themes, and some are set in California.
American author.
Author.
Author Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton was born in San Francisco; she married George H.B. Atherton in 1876, and moved to New York after her husband's death in 1887. She began writing, producing historical novels and non-fiction; her best work was probably The Conqueror, a well-researched fictional biography of Alexander Hamilton, but the sensational Black Oxen, about a woman revitalized by hormone treatments, was extremely popular. Her novels often feature independent women, and were controversial for the frank depiction of sexual pursuit.
