Autor

Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton was an American writer, born on October 30, 1857, in San Francisco, California. She is best known for her novels set in California, her home state, and for capturing the culture and landscapes of the region in her works. Her bestselling novel, Black Oxen, gained widespread recognition and was adapted into a silent film of the same name, showcasing her influence in both literature and early cinema. Atherton's literary career was marked by her exploration of social themes, including women's roles, class divisions, and the changing dynamics of society. She was married to George H. Bowen Atherton from 1876 until their divorce in 1887, and together they had two children, George and Muriel. Atherton was the daughter of Thomas Ludovich Horn and Gertrude Franklin. Her works, although reflective of her time, often featured progressive ideas and were ahead of her era, addressing issues such as gender roles and societal expectations. Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton passed away on June 14, 1948, at the age of 90 in San Francisco, leaving behind a legacy of novels that continue to be read and appreciated for their insight into the human condition and the American West.
