Charmian London
Charmian Kittredge London (November 27, 1871 in Wilmington, California – January 14, 1955 in Glen Ellen, California〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Charmian Kittredge London )〕) was an American writer and second wife of Jack London.
==Early life and education==
Charmian Kittridge was born to poet Dayelle "Daisy" Wiley and California hotelier Willard Kittredge in a suburb south of Los Angeles. In 1877, after her mother died when she was six years old, Charmian's father sent her to Berkeley, California. She was raised by her aunt, Ninetta "Netta" Wiley Eames and husband Roscoe Eames, who had no children of their own and were editors of the journal, ''Overland Monthly''.〔Kingman, Russ, ''A Pictorial Life of Jack London'', Crown: 1979.〕 Charmian studied music, becoming an accomplished pianist and developed a good singing voice. She enjoyed horseback riding through the hills at a time when few women rode. Socially and intellectually ambitious, she strived to improve herself, and earned money for a trip through Europe.〔Stone, Irving, ''Jack London, Sailor on Horseback'', New York: Doubleday, 1938〕 Her education at Mills College included lessons in stenography and typing, which served her through her working life. At Mills, she earned her way as secretary to its President, Mrs. Susan L. Mills.〔London, Charmian ''The book of Jack London.'' Century Co., New York, 1921, Volume 1, p. 5.〕
