Ethel Watts Mumford
Ethel Watts Mumford (1876 or 78 - 1940) was a U.S. author, a New Yorker. "Mumford" came from her first husband George D Mumford, a lawyer (married 1894-1901). After her first husband grew intolerant of her prolific writing and art career, she fled to San Francisco in 1899 with their only child, a son. She sued for divorce on grounds of desertion. After the divorce was granted in 1901, she returned to New York, vowing never to remarry unless her husband accepted her career.
