Biography
Kathleen Norris (1880-1966) began writing after marrying author Charles G. Norris in 1909 and published her first of many novels, Mother, in 1911. She became famous for sentimental, but honest, romantic novels and short stories, as well as a syndicated column that ran for 20 years. 16 of her novels and short stories were adapted to film between 1918 and 1935; her novel Josselyn's Wife was filmed twice (1919 and 1926). A feminist, Norris also supported world disarmament, women's rights and the abolition of the death penalty and, later in life, nuclear weapons.
