She went on to become one of the highest-paid women writers of the period. Her stories often concerned Midwestern pioneer history and were very popular with teenage girls and young women. Aldrich's first novel, Mother Mason, was published in 1924. She was the author of about 200 short stories and thirteen novels, including Miss Bishop.
