Autoren-Porträt von Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton
Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton (1857-1948) was a prolific American author known for her bold exploration of female sexuality and critique of contemporary society. She was born on October 30, 1857 in San Francisco, California, into a wealthy and prominent family. Her extensive literary output includes novels, short stories, essays, and articles. Atherton's work often focused on California and its society during the turn of the 20th century, through a lens that highlighted the restrictions of the social and cultural mores of her time. 'The Avalanche', one of her notable works, delves into the complexities of marriage, divorce, and the stifling nature of societal norms on women's independence and ambition. Atherton's narrative style is characterized by its intensity and psychological depth, offering a keen insight into the characters' inner lives. Best known for her controversial novel 'Black Oxen' (1923), which explored themes of female empowerment and rejuvenation, she was not afraid to push the boundaries of acceptable topics for women writers of her era. Throughout a long and illustrious career, Atherton received both criticism and acclaim for her unapologetic portrayal of strong, complex female characters, and her challenging of the status quo. She left behind a legacy of more than fifty books and numerous articles, influencing later writers who tackled similar themes. Atherton passed away on June 14, 1948, leaving a significant mark on American literature and feminist thought.
