Drawing from materials in The Huntington’s collections, author Iris Jamahl Dunkle tells the story of the free-spirited and adventurous Charmian Kittredge London—wife of American author Jack London—as a literary trailblazer in her own right.

This is the Ray Allen Billington Lecture in the History of the American West.
