Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton, an influential American author known for her California-set novels, gained fame with her bestseller "Black Oxen," which inspired a silent film. Her literary contributions extend beyond novels to include essays and articles addressing feminism, politics, and war. Atherton faced familial ostracism after revealing her authorship of her first serialized work, leading her to travel extensively, including a notable journey to New York and London. She published her first novel, "What Dreams May Come," in 1888 under a pseudonym.
