About the author
Elizabeth Garver Jordan (1867–1947) was an American journalist, writer, editor, and supporter of women's suffrage. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and died in New York, she served as editor of Harper's Bazaar from 1900 to 1913, during which time she encouraged Sinclair Lewis and organized Henry James and other distinguished authors in a collaborative novel, The Whole Family. Three of her works are held here, including Many Kingdoms and the May Iverson series, the latter a light-hearted depiction of a young woman entering society; The Girl in the Mirror is also among her novels. Public information is limited. Her works often draw on urban life and women's circumstances, with a brisk style that combines a journalist's observation and a novelist's narrative sense, giving her a place in early twentieth-century American popular literature and women's writing.
