  <about><![CDATA[Born February 17, 1912 in Cleveland, Ohio, Alice Mary Norton has always had an affinity to the humanities. She started writing in her teens, inspired by a charismatic high school teacher. First contacts with the publishing world led her, as many other contemporary female writers targeting a male-dominated market, to choose a literary pseudonym. In 1934 she legally changed her name to Andre Alice. The androgynous Andre doesn't really say &quot;male,&quot; though it lets people jump to their own conclusions. 

She's often classified as a writer for young adults, but maybe that should be restated as for the &quot;young-at-heart&quot;. Anyone, either gender, or any age, who enjoys great, emotional stories will find at least one segment of her enormous range of writing to treasure. 

Many top writers, including C. J. Cherryh and Joan D. Vinge, have cited her as a primary influence on their own work.]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Cleveland, OH</hometown>  <born_at>02/17/1912</born_at>  <died_at>03/17/2005</died_at>
