Kate Trimble Sharber

b. 1883

A little-known early 20th-century novelist, she wrote lively Southern fiction centered on young women, family expectations, and the social worlds around them. Her surviving novels still feel readable today for their wit, diary-like intimacy, and close eye for community life.

About the author

Born in 1883, Kate Trimble Sharber was an American novelist whose books include The Annals of Ann, At the Age of Eve, and Amazing Grace, Who Proves That Virtue Has Its Silver Lining. Library and public-domain records confirm those titles and place her work in the early 1900s.

Available biographical notes describe her as the daughter of Joseph Addison Trimble and Mary Davis Trimble. She attended private schools in Alabama, married Dr. A. Leslie Sharber, and published fiction as well as short stories in magazines.

Those same sources say she supported the suffrage movement and belonged to organizations including the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Women's Tennessee Press, and the Authors' Club. A clear, verified portrait was not readily available from the sources checked, so no profile image is included here.
