About the author
Born in Rio de Janeiro on March 2, 1873, and raised largely in Boston, she became a journalist, novelist, and outspoken advocate for women's rights. Many readers know her by the name Inez Haynes Gillmore, the name under which much of her work first appeared.
She was active in the suffrage movement in the early 1900s and helped found the College Equal Suffrage League while still connected with Radcliffe. Over the course of her career, she wrote more than 40 books, including novels, nonfiction, and children's stories, and she later served as president of the Authors Guild.
Her writing is often remembered for its feminist spirit and for the way it gave women and girls more freedom, intelligence, and adventure than was common in popular fiction of the time. She died on September 25, 1970, leaving behind a body of work that links literary life with social change.
