Grace Miller White

Several of her books were adapted for the big screen, most notably Tess of the Storm Country, which was filmed on four occasions between 1914 and 1960.

With this idea, White came to New York City in 1899 and received employment in secretarial work with the Paris exposition commission.

One day, White went to lunch with a stenographer she knew who was working at a paper called the American Commerce and Industry.

After some time, White was also hired to make public political speeches supporting McKinley.

[3] In 1902, she was matron of honor at the wedding of the writer Zoe Anderson Norris and the illustrator J. K. "Jack" Bryans.
