Mary Austin

    Mary Hunter Austin war eine produktive Schriftstellerin, deren Werke sich mit dem Wesen des amerikanischen Südwestens auseinandersetzten. Ihre literarische Stimme, geschärft durch jahrelange Beobachtung, erfasste die Schönheit und Komplexität der Natur, der Tier- und Pflanzenwelt sowie der Menschen dieser Region. Austin war auch eine leidenschaftliche Verfechterin der Rechte und Kulturen der Ureinwohner Amerikas und der Hispanoamerikaner sowie eine frühe Feministin. Ihr wirkungsvolles Schreiben reichte über die Seiten hinaus und umfasste Aktivismus im Naturschutz und der Bewahrung des kulturellen Erbes.
