Notes
Add additional information about the woman in this box.
Anna's mother passed when she was three years old.
Also, Anna was a progressive woman for her time who succeeded in a genre dominated by male writers but she was opposed to women's suffrage and she did not approve of many of her feminist contemporaries.
Furthermore, Anna had an early ambition to write romantic novels and poetry at the beginning of her career, but when her poetry failed to gain recognition countless times, she shifted to another genre and returned permanently to detective fiction genre from then on.

Description
An account of the resource
Anna Katharine Green, Rohlfs was born in Brooklyn, NY to James Wilson Green and Catharine Ann Whitney on November 11, 1846. She attended Ripley Female College (now Green Mountain College) in Poultney, VT, graduated in 1866 and moved back to NY to live with her extended family. Eventually, she got married to Charles Rohlfs, an actor and stove designer who later became an internationally acclaimed furniture designer on<span> November 25, 1884. Mrs. Rohlfs and her husband raised three children; a daughter, Rosamund, and two sons, Sterling and Roland in Buffalo, NY. </span><br /><br />Anna became a popular author and novelist. Her early poetic ambitions were bolstered by a meeting with Ralph Waldo Emerson. S<span>he was one of the first writers in the detective fiction genre, and Edgar Allan Poe, Wilkie Collins, and Metta Victor were virtually her only predecessors in the writing of such fiction. Anna had the advantage of her <span>father, James Wilson Green's career having a major influence on her as he was an attorney who practiced in New York and was involved in many criminal cases</span>. Her most famous detective novels include her first novel, which has been regarded as the first American detective novel, The Leavenworth Case (1878) and Marked "Personal" (1893).</span> Other popular works of hers include, The Defense of the Bride and other poem<em>s</em>, Risifi’s Daughter <span>The Sword of Damocles" (1881), "Hand and Ring" (1883), "X. Y. Z." (1883), "A Strange Disappearance "(1885), "The Mill Mystery" (1886), "7 to 12" (1887), "Behind Closed Doors" (1888). "The Forsaken Inn" (1890). "A Matter of Millions" (1890), "The Old Stone House" (1891), "Cynthia Wakeham's Money" (1892). </span><br /><br /><br />She passed away on April 11, 1935 at her home in Buffalo. <br /><br /><br />
