A Woman of the Ice Age

Gratacap (1851-1917) was an American naturalist, museum curator and author whose early writings were essays for magazines such as Popular Science Monthly. His first novel, The Certainty of a Future Life on Mars (1903), remains his best known. This, his second novel published in 1906, is a work of "prehistoric science fiction", a genre growing in popularity at the end of the turn of the 20th century, combining didactic lectures with romance.
