Corra May Harris (1869-1935), an American writer, was born Corra Mae White in Elbert County, Georgia. Although she became famous for her fiction, Harris's reputation for reactionary conservatism lasted throughout her life and became part of her contradictory legacy. Such a reputation resulted in part from her first nationally published piece in 1899. After A Circuit Rider's Wife was published in 1910, Harris wrote and published prolifically, both fiction and non-fiction, throughout the nineteen-teens. By the early 1930s Harris's publishing was limited largely though not exclusively to the local. The last four years of her life, from 1931-1935, she published what critics have called some of her best writing in a tri-weekly Candlelit Column in the Atlanta Journal. Her other works include: The Jessica Letters: An Editor's Romance (with Paul Elmer More) (1904), Eve's Second Husband (1910), In Search of a Husband (1913), The Co-Citizens (1915), Making Her His Wife (1918), From Sunup to Sundown (1919), Happily Married (1920), A Daughter of Adam (1923) and My Book and Heart (1924).

"During her life, Corra Harris (1869-1935) was one of the most widely published and popular female writers in the United States. In addition to dozens of books, her work appeared frequently in major national publications such as Saturday Evening Post, Harper's, Good Housekeeping, and Ladies Home Journal. Critics have often dismissed her claim to prominence, choosing to view her as a writer of domestic fiction. At the same time, she was widely praised for her expressions of wit and candor. A Circuit Rider's Wife (1910) was Georgia's most celebrated novel for nearly three decades. Now little read and almost forgotten. Harris's life offers a fascinating glimpse into a world nearly unimaginable to us today."--BOOK JACKET.
Corra Mae Harris (March 17, 1869 - February 7, 1935), was an American writer and journalist. She was one of the first women war correspondents to go abroad in World War I. Harris was, for a time, the most widely known woman from the state of Georgia. Her literary reputation during her life and legacy since are connected with A Circuit Rider's Wife published in 1910. Reputedly autobiographical, the novel is at most a spiritual autobiography, with little else that resembles her actual life. She wrote more than two dozen books, nineteen of which were published. Two were autobiographies, one a travel journal, and two became feature-length movies, the best known was I'd Climb The Highest Mountain, released in 1951 and inspired by, A Circuit Rider's Wife.
