Sci Fi Atherton, Gertrude Franklin Horn Writer, born in San Francisco, California,USA. She began writing during an unhappy marriage, and after being widowed in 1887, continued professionally. She maintained her ties to San Francisco but traveled widely and lived in Europe for many years. Her 56 books include melodramatic historical and society novels, works set in old California (The Splendid Idle Forties, 1902), and innovative fictionalized biographies of Alexander Hamilton and others. Many of her novels depict strong-willed women, and her Black Oxen (1923) promoted the possibility of rejuvenation through a medical operation.

Atherton, Gertrude Franklin Horn (1857-1948), novelist Born in San Francisco, California, on October 30, 1857, Gertrude Horn grew up in a prosperous neighborhood of that city until her parents' divorce and thereafter mainly on the San Jose ranch of her maternal grandfather, under whose stern discipline she was introduced to serious literature. She attended St. Mary's Hall school in Benicia, California, and for a year Sayre Institute in Lexington, Kentucky. In February 1876 she eloped with George H.B. Atherton, who had been courting her now twice-divorced mother. Her life at the Atherton estate, Fair Oaks (now Atherton), California, dominated by her mother-in-law, was an unhappy one. Despite her husband's attempts to stifle her, she managed to write a novel, The Randolphs of Redwoods, based on a local society scandal, whose serial publication in the San Francisco Argonaut in 1882, though unsigned, outraged the family. (The novel was published in book form as A Daughter of the Vine in 1899.) The death of her husband in 1887 released Gertrude Atherton, and she promptly traveled to New York City and thence in 1895 to England and continental Europe. In rapid succession she produced books set in those locales or in old California, and, clearly, the information she accumulated in her travels lent vividness to her writing. Her work generally drew mixed reviews, with the notable exception of The Conqueror (1902), a novelized account of the life of Alexander Hamilton. (
