Ako dcéra diplomata americkej zahraničnej služby vyrastala Elizabeth Blackwellová v prostredí, kde sa striedala Afrika, Blízky východ a Európa, pričom si vždy nosila knihu. Po štúdiu histórie a žurnalistiky sa venovala editorskej a spisovateľskej práci pre rôzne periodiká. Teraz píše beletriu zo svojej domácej pracovne na predmestí Chicaga a vo svojich dielach často skúma témy spojené s kultúrnym prekračovaním a hľadaním identity v globálnom kontexte. Jej štýl je charakteristický bystrým pozorovaním a prenikavým vhľadom do ľudskej psychiky.
