Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton

    Gertrude Athertonová byla výraznou a plodnou americkou autorkou, jejíž díla se často odehrávala v jejím rodném Kalifornii. Známá svou silnou vůlí a nezávislým myšlením, Athertonová se ve svých spisech, které zahrnovaly romány, povídky a eseje, zabývala tématy jako feminismus, politika a válka. Její styl často odrážel jejího odvážného a někdy kontroverzního ducha, což z ní činilo pozoruhodnou postavu americké literatury. Její díla, přestože nebyla vždy populární, nabízejí fascinující pohled na společenské a politické otázky své doby.
