Mary Borden was een Anglo-Amerikaanse romanschrijfster die aan het begin van de 20e eeuw bekendheid verwierf. Haar werken vallen op door hun rauwe, soms hallucinerende kwaliteit die tijdgenootlezers verontrustte. Voortbouwend op haar ervaringen als verpleegster tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog, schreef ze indringende schetsen en korte verhalen die de gruwelen van het conflict onomwonden verbeeldden. Borden's schrijven richtte zich consequent op een compromisloze weergave van de menselijke ervaring.
