Autor

Susan Coolidge is the pen name adopted by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey (January 29, 1835 – April 9, 1905), an American children's author whose literary production captured the imaginations of young readers in the post-Civil War era. Born into a prominent and scholarly family in Cleveland, Ohio, Coolidge was heavily influenced by her surroundings and the intellectual vigor of her relatives. She pursued a career in nursing during the Civil War before turning to literature. Coolidge's body of work typically showcases her commitment to depicting domestic life and the inner world of her predominantly female protagonists with a touch of didacticism and moral orientation, all of which is encapsulated within her charming, easily accessible prose. A notable book in her bibliography is 'A Few More Verses' (1889), a collection that highlights Coolidge's adeptness not only in narrative forms but also in the poetic medium, building upon the warmth and gentility that characterizes her oeuvre. Best known for her 'What Katy Did' series, Coolidge's writing provides a vivid portrayal of 19th-century American life through the perspective of spirited young girls. Her works continue to be appreciated for their heartfelt storytelling and enduring themes of growth and resilience. Coolidge's literary style and thematic predilections remain significant in the study of American children's literature of her time.
