GERTRUDE F. ATHERTON
American feminist and fiction writer (1857 - 1948)

"Talk. Talk. Talk. . . . Good lines and no action . . . said all
. . . not even promising first act . . . eighth failure and
season more than half over . . . rather be a playwright and fail
than a critic compelled to listen to has-beens and would-bes
trying to put over bad plays."
- Black Oxen [Books (First Lines)]
The long street rising and falling and rising again until its
farthest crest high in the east seemed to brush the fading stars,
was deserted even by the private watchmen that guarded the homes
of the apprehensive in the Western Addition.
- The Sisters-in-Law (book 1, ch. 1)
[Books (First Lines)]
