Ruth Suckow


Born
in Hawarden, The United States
August 06, 1892

Died
January 23, 1960


Ruth Suckow (August 6, 1892 – January 23, 1960) was an American author.

Suckow is sometimes recalled as a "regionalist," but she did not consider herself such a writer. She said that she wrote about "people, situations, and their meaning." Her fiction was often set in Iowa, but was not parochial in outlook. Today her writing has value for readers who enjoy good storytelling as well as for social historians looking for details about life in the early 20th century, particularly in the small towns of Iowa.

Suckow's childhood home has been preserved at Calliope Village in Hawarden, Iowa.
