Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Gene Stratton-Porter was an American novelist, naturalist, nature photographer, conservationist, and film producer whose books reached a vast popular readership in the early twentieth century. Born in Indiana in 1863, she became closely associated with the Limberlost Swamp and the natural landscapes of Indiana, which shaped much of her fiction and nonfiction. Her best-known novels include Freckles, A Girl of the Limberlost, The Harvester, Laddie, and Michael O'Halloran. Indiana sources describe her as a popular novelist and environmentalist, and the Indiana State Museum notes that she wrote twelve novels, including several bestsellers.Stratton-Porter's fiction often joined romance, moral testing, family conflict, self-reliance, and a deep affection for the natural world. Her work brought birds, flowers, woods, wetlands, farms, and rural life into stories that were widely read in homes, schools, and libraries. A Daughter of the Land reflects another side of that same vision: the struggle of a determined woman to claim education, land, labor, and personal dignity in a world that expects her to accept less.
