London's first novel, published in 1902, was something of a critical failure, offset, of course, by the success of CALL OF THE WILD just one year later. But A DAUGHTER OF THE SNOWS did establish him as a writer of strong, independent female characters, contrary to other writers of his time. From one of the characters of this novel, after parting company with the heroine: "'Jove!' he muttered, doffing his cap gallantly. 'There is a woman!' And a sudden hunger seized him, and a yearning to see himself mirrored always in the gray eyes of Frona Welse. He was not analytical, he did not know why, but he knew that with her he could travel to the end of the earth.
