Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Garver Jordan, active at the beginning of the Twentieth Century, was an American journalist, author, editor, and suffragist. She was both a woman of her time, energetic, forceful and an excellent social networker, while building the foundations for equality and social justice by actions and her lifestyle. She edited the first two novels of Sinclair Lewis and was editor of Harper's Bazaar from 1900 to 1913. Jordan never married, residing in an elegant house in Gramercy Square with her mother Margaretta Jordan. She was a noted hostess and had a large circle of friends, including Frances Hodgson Burnett and Henry James. In 1918 she was asked to be a script consultant with Goldwyn Pictures at its Fort Lee, New Jersey, studio. She produced almost a novel a year for the rest of her life, including an autobiography Three Rousing Cheers (1938). In 1922, she began a theater column for the Catholic weekly, America, which she continued until her retirement in 1945.
