Flora Annie Steel was een Engelse schrijfster wiens werken diep verbonden zijn met haar uitgebreide ervaring in India, voornamelijk in Punjab. Haar intieme betrokkenheid bij alle lagen van de Indiase samenleving, gecombineerd met haar rollen als schoolinspectrice en verzamelaarster van volksverhalen, gaf haar een uniek perspectief op het lokale leven en de cultuur. Steels toewijding aan het onderwijs van vrouwen en haar steun voor lokale ambachten informeerden haar schrijven, met als doel Europese lezers een authentieke weergave van het Indiase leven te bieden. Haar proza is doordrenkt van een diep begrip van de tradities en dagelijkse zorgen van de mensen die ze ontmoette.
