Marion Harland

    Mary Virginia Terhune, writing as Marion Harland, was a prolific American author whose extensive work encompassed novels, short stories, travelogues, biographies, and historical studies. Despite her prodigious output and managing a household with six children, her writing was often misunderstood and overlooked by critics. Terhune held conservative views, notably opposing the nascent feminism of her era, ironically distancing herself from the ideals she often championed in her works. Her legacy resides in a rich and varied literary contribution, despite the critical neglect she faced.
