Juliet Wilbor Tompkins (May 13, 1871 – January 29, 1956) was an American writer and editor.
Juliet Wilbor Tompkins was born on May 13, 1871, in Oakland, California, to Sarah (Haight) and Edward Tompkins. [1] She received an AB from Vassar College in 1891. [2]
Tompkins was an associate editor at Munsey's Magazine from 1897 to 1901. [3] Around 1898, Frank Munsey appointed her the editor of Puritan, another of his magazines; she remained editor until 1901. [1] She also edited a magazine called The Wave. [4]
She published 14 novels and many short stories. [3] According to Richard Ohmann, Tompkins's story "On the Way North", published in Munsey's in 1895, exemplifies the perspective of the professional–managerial class. [5] A review in the Brooklyn Eagle called the novel Open House (1909), about a psychiatrist who runs a facility to which he invites "derelicts", a "very laughable, perverse book". [6] The film A Girl Named Mary (1919) was based on Tompkins's 1918 novel of the same name. [7]
Tompkins married Emery Pottle either in 1897 [1] or on November 22, 1904, [8] and filed for divorce on March 24, 1905. [8] She died on January 29, 1956, in New York City. [1]
