The Life of Mary Baker G. Eddy and the History of Christian ScienceThis controversial biography of the founder of the Christian Science church was serialized in McClure's Magazine in 1907 8 and published as a book the next year. It disappeared almost overnight and has been difficult to find ever since. Although a Canadian mewspaperwoman named Georgine Milmine collected the material and was credited as the author, The Life Of Mary Baker G. Eddy was actually written by Willa Cather, an editor at McClure's at that time.
