Autorenporträt
Lucy Furman (1870-1958) was a celebrated American novelist of the early twentieth century, and Hindman Settlement School's first director of grounds, gardens, and livestock. Her fiction offered a rare look at Kentucky mountain culture from within its agrarian economy, significantly influencing future generations of Appalachian writers. In her lifetime, she wrote five novels and a collection of stories; she also became an animal rights activist on the national stage and was instrumental in Kentucky's legislative ban of steel traps.
