- Mary Hastings Bradley was born in Chicago, Illinois. In 1905, she graduated from Smith College. Afterwards, she traveled to Egypt with a cousin and was inspired to write The Palace of Darkened Windows and The Fortieth Door (1920). While doing research for her book The Favor of Kings, she met her husband Herbert Bradley, a lawyer, big game hunter, traveler and explorer. They married in 1910 and had a daughter, Alice, who became known as a science fiction writer under the pseudonym "James Tiptree, Jr."
As a war correspondent for Colliers magazine during World War II, Mary reported on women in the military in Italy, France and Germany. At the end of the war she described her tour of concentration camps in a magazine series on the Holocaust. She was a prolific writer of mysteries, travel books, novels, and short fiction. She was frequently asked to lecture on her travels and was inducted into the Society of Women Geographers, whose other members included Amelia Earhart, Margaret Mead and Eleanor Roosevelt.
