Gwethalyn Graham

Died in 1965

Gwethalyn Graham (1913-1965), born Erichsen-Brown in Toronto into a well-off family, the daughter of a lawyer, studied in Switzerland and then at Smith College, which she left at nineteen for a marriage soon dissolved. Settled in Montreal in 1934, she published only two novels; the first, in 1938, was awarded a prize when she was twenty-five. She later wrote in the newspapers against antisemitism and against prejudice towards French Canadians, and died in Montreal of a brain tumour, leaving a third novel unfinished.
