Mary Hunter Austin bola plodnou prozaičkou, poetkou, kritičkou a dramatičkou, rovnako ako raná feministka, ochranárka a obhajkyňa práv a kultúry pôvodných Američanov a španielskych Američanov. Ako jedna z prvých spisovateliek o prírode amerického juhozápadu sa jej dielo ponorilo do fauny, flóry a ľudí v drsnej krajine medzi pohorím Sierra Nevada a púšťou Mojave. Jej písanie bolo hlboko zakorenené v dlhoročnom pozorovaní a vášnivom úsilí o zachovanie miestnych kultúr a krajiny, čo ju odlíšilo ako jedinečný hlas v americkej literatúre.
