作者简介

Mary Johnston (1870–1936) was a pioneering female American novelist and an early advocate for women's rights and suffrage. Born in Buchanan, Virginia, she grew up amidst the lingering aftermath of the Civil War, which later influenced much of her narrative palette. Johnston gained prominence in the early 20th century with her historical romances that often blended meticulous research with intricate plots, carving her niche in American literature. Her 1902 novel 'Audrey' exemplifies her narrative flair, capturing the spirit and moxie of its titular heroine with a backdrop of colonial Virginia, adding to her array of strong, independently-minded female characters. While less studied today, Johnston's work in her time earned her critical acclaim and a considerable readership, rivaling contemporaries such as Edith Wharton in popularity. Her literary style frequently interweaves historical fact with fiction, illuminating the lives and struggles of women set against sweeping historical canvases. In addition to her feminist underpinnings, Johnston is also noted for her vivid storytelling and her ability to bring historical periods to life with authenticity and emotional depth. Her contributions to American literature and to the early feminist movement continue to be recognized by scholars, making her oeuvre a subject of interest for those studying early 20th-century literature and women's history.
