Autorenporträt
Cid Ricketts Sumner (September 27, 1890 - October 15, 1970) was an American novelist. She also taught English at a Jackson, Mississippi, High School and French at Millsaps College. Sumner was born Bertha Louise Ricketts in Brookhaven, Mississippi. She was the daughter of Bertha Burnley and Robert Scott Ricketts. Her father was a professor at Millsaps College, and her mother and grandmother provided a home-schooled education for her. She received a BS from Millsaps College in 1909 and an MA from Columbia University in 1910. She continued postgraduate work at Columbia from 1910 to 1914, then enrolled in medical school at Cornell University. She only attended one year of medical school before marrying one of her professors, Nobel Prize winner James B. Sumner, on July 10, 1915. Several of Sumner's books were filmed. The most well-known were books Quality, which became the movie Pinky, and was quite ahead of its time in terms of addressing interracial marriage, and Tammy Out of Time, which became the movies Tammy and the Bachelor and Tammy Tell Me True. In 1955, Sumner joined the Eggert-Hatch river expedition, the purpose of which was to make the last films of the Green and Colorado River canyons before construction began on Flaming Gorge and Glen Canyon dams. She was the only female member of the expedition. Sumner wrote a book about her journey called Traveler in the Wilderness, published by Harper's Magazine in 1957. In 1970, Sumner was murdered at the age of 80 in Duxbury, Massachusetts.
