Francis Stevens was the pen-name of Gertrude Barrows Bennett (1883-1948). Bennett has been credited as having âthe best claim at creating the new genre of dark fantasyâ.
Bennett was the first major female writer of fantasy and science fiction in the United States, and has been called the most important female fantasy writer between Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and C.L. Moore. It has been said that she influenced both H.P. Lovecraft and A. Merritt, both of whom âemulated Bennettâs earlier style and themesâ.
