Ruth's Marriage in Mars: A Scientific Novel
by Mrs. Charles Wilder Glass
About the author
Born in Wisconsin in 1874, Mrs. Charles Wilder Glass is also identified in library and bibliographic records as Kate Elizabeth Perkins Glass. She wrote imaginative fiction that mixed early science fiction with spirituality and psychical themes, and her work was published in Los Angeles in the 1910s.
Her known books include Ruth's Marriage in Mars: A Scientific Novel (1912), Romance in Starland: A Scientific Novel (1915), and Her Invisible Spirit Mate (1917). The surviving records suggest a writer interested in Mars, ideal societies, the soul, and the possibility that inner life and unseen worlds were closely connected.
She remains a niche but intriguing figure in early speculative fiction, especially for readers curious about the overlap between science fiction, mysticism, and utopian writing. A clear portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources reviewed, so no profile image is included here.
