Kathleen Winsor

16 October 1919 – 26 May 2003

Kathleen Winsor was an American author. She is best known for her first work, the 1944 historical novel *Forever Amber*. The novel, racy for its time, became a runaway bestseller even as it drew criticism from some authorities for its depictions of sexuality. She wrote seven other novels, none of which matched the success of her debut.
