About the author
Born in 1850, she was an American author best known for writing across many genres, including children's literature, poetry, and biography. She published a remarkably large body of work over her lifetime, with more than 90 books to her name.
She was the daughter of Julia Ward Howe, the noted writer and reformer, and Samuel Gridley Howe, a prominent physician and educator. That family background placed her close to literary and intellectual life from an early age, and her own writing career grew into one of unusual range and longevity.
Her work for younger readers remains especially well remembered, but she also earned major recognition as a biographer. In 1917, she shared the Pulitzer Prize for Biography for Julia Ward Howe, 1819–1910, a life of her mother written with Maud Howe Elliott.
