Jean Webster was the pseudonym of Alice Jane Chandler Webster (1876-1916), an American writer whose best-known books tell the stories of young and likeable female protagonists as they come of age intellectually, morally, and socially, combining humour, witty dialogue, and gently biting social commentary.
In 1897 she entered Vassar College where a course in welfare and penal reform led to an interest in social issues that would last throughout her life.
