About the author
Born in Montreal in 1864, Maud Ogilvy was a Canadian author who published both poetry and prose. Reference sources on early Canadian women writers note that her writing reflected her origins in Montreal, and bibliographic records connect her most closely with Marie Gourdon: A Romance of the Lower St. Lawrence.
Ogilvy's fiction is remembered for its regional setting and its place within early Canadian literature. Contemporary and later reference listings group her with other Montreal women writers who were active with the pen in that period.
She died in Berkeley, California, in 1935. Although she is not widely known today, her surviving books continue to circulate through digital archives and library catalogs, helping preserve her place in Canada's literary history.
