Initially aspiring to be a poet, she shifted to prose after her poetry went unrecognized, leading to her acclaimed novel, The Leavenworth Case. A bestselling author with around 40 published works, she navigated a male-dominated genre while holding traditional views, notably opposing women's suffrage despite her progressive accomplishments.
