Anna Katharine Green (November 11, 1846 in Brooklyn, New York - April 11, 1935 in Buffalo) was an American author. She was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America and distinguished herself by writing well plotted, legally accurate stories (no doubt assisted by her lawyer father). Her most famous book, The Leavenworth Case (1878) was actually written only after her poetry failed to gain recognition. Green's first passion was to write romantic verse. She even corresponded with Ralph Waldo Emerson. When her poetry was ignored, she wrote a novel. This made her famous overnight. Anna Katharine Green was a very progressive woman for her time. In a world of man's literature, she managed to not only get published, but also to become a bestselling authoress. Yet, she did not approve of many of her contemporary feminists. She did not even believe women should get the vote. She gained fame for her well thought out plots, but was not always appreciated for her Victorian era characters and dialogue.
