Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton, an influential American author, is known for her novels set in California and her exploration of themes like feminism and politics. Her notable work, Black Oxen, achieved bestseller status and was adapted into a silent film.

She later moved to New York and traveled to London before returning to California, where she continued to write novels, short stories, and essays.
