Produktbeschreibung
Eleanor Hallowell Abbott was a nationally recognized American author. She was a frequent contributor to The Ladies' Home Journal. She attended Radcliffe College, and then worked as a secretary and teacher at Lowell State Normal School. She went on to publish seventy-five short stories and fourteen romantic novels. Her romantic fiction focused on young women and was described as "charming" by readers of the day. Her work was popular in the 1910s and 1920s. An excerpt reads, "There was nothing dressy, however, about the Young Electrician. From his huge cowhide boots to the lead smouch that ran from his rough, square chin to the very edge of his astonishingly blond curls, he was one delicious mess of toil and old clothes and smiling, blue-eyed indifference. And every time that he shrugged his shoulders or crossed his knees he jingled and jangled incongruously among his coil-boxes and insulators, like some splendid young Viking of old, half blacked up for a modern minstrel show."

Autorenporträt
Eleanor Hallowell Abbott was an American writer born on September 22, 1872, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Known for her engaging storytelling and distinctive style, she was a frequent contributor to The Ladies' Home Journal and gained recognition for her novels, short stories, and essays. Abbott was educated at the prestigious Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, which helped shape her literary career. In 1908, she married Fordyce Coburn, with whom she shared a life in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where she passed away on June 4, 1958, at the age of 85. Throughout her life, Abbott explored themes of love, personal growth, and the complexities of the human condition in her writing. Her work was appreciated for its emotional depth and insightful portrayal of characters, especially women navigating societal expectations. Abbott's father, Edward Abbott, was an important influence in her life, and she built a reputation for her strong voice in both fiction and non-fiction. Though not as widely known today, her contributions to early 20th-century American literature remain significant in capturing the sensibilities of her time.
