Mary Johnston (1870-1936) was a prominent American novelist and women's rights advocate of the early 20th century. She gained widespread recognition for her historical romances and novels that often depicted robust and independent heroines, set against richly detailed backdrops of historical events. Born in Buchanan, Virginia, Johnston was the daughter of an ex-Confederate soldier and grew up during the Reconstruction era, which deeply influenced her writing. Her literary career took off with the publication of 'Prisoners of Hope' (1898), followed by 'To Have and to Hold' (1900), which became the bestselling novel in the United States that year. Johnston's work is characterized by her meticulous research and vivid storytelling, as exemplified in her novel '1492'. Though not her most famous work, '1492' offers an engaging portrait of the Age of Discovery, delving into the immense socio-political changes during the closing of the 15th century. Johnston's narratives often reveal her progressive views on gender roles and social justice. She was a suffragist and served as the first female president of the American Writers Association. Her contributions to literature and her advocacy for women's rights have cemented her place in literary history as a pioneering figure of her time.
