About the author (1976)

Author Elizabeth Seifert was born in 1897 and wrote more than 80 novels during her lifetime. She attended medical school for a year and a half before quitting because she was told women did not belong in medicine. This rejection led her to write books about doctors. In 1938, her first novel, Young Doctor Galahad, won a $10,000 Redbook prize for first-time novelists. She died in 1983.
