  • Grace Elizabeth King (1851–1932) was an American author of Louisiana stories, history, and biography, and a leader in historical and literary activities. King began her literary career from a desire sympathetically portray Louisianians and Southerners based on her observations and experiences, specifically women and Creoles. In her literary works, King focuses primarily on women and women’s issues in Reconstruction and its aftermath. King also emphasizes how race and class affected the lives of women. Throughout her literary career, King became friends and corresponded with many of the most notable writers and literary critics of her day, including Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain).
