Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton

    Gertrude Athertonová bola významná a plodná americká autorka, ktorej diela sa často odohrávali v jej rodnej Kalifornii. Athertonová, známa svojou pevnou vôľou a nezávislým myslením, sa vo svojej tvorbe, ktorá zahŕňala romány, poviedky a eseje, venovala témam ako feminizmus, politika a vojna. Jej štýl často odrážal jej odvážne a niekedy kontroverzné zmýšľanie, čo z nej robilo pozoruhodnú postavu americkej literatúry. Jej diela, hoci nie vždy populárne, ponúkajú fascinujúci pohľad na spoločenské a politické otázky svojej doby.
