Happy birthday, Ellen Glasgow; Janet Evanovich.
Richmond's own
Ellen Glasgow was born today in 1873. A proponent of
women's suffrage and a member of a literary circle that included Allen Tate and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Glasgow won the Pulitzer Prize for
In This Our Life (1941). She died in 1945.
And one-time Trentonian and Silver Dagger winner
Janet Evanovich was born today in 1943. The creator of hapless bounty hunter Stephanie Plum, Evanovich--for this native Jersey girl--perfectly captures the bighaired, car-obsessed culture of South Jersey. Her upcoming Plum novel is
Fearless Fourteen (out in June); another recent work is
How I Write.
