By her Granddaughters, Charlotte Jones Voiklis and Lena Roy
Madeleine L'Engle was a woman of many talents and passions: a prolific writer, a visionary thinker, an advocate for the power of imagination, and a beloved grandmother. Her most famous work, A Wrinkle in Time, has captivated generations of readers with its timeless themes of love, courage, and the importance of embracing one's individuality. But behind the beloved children's classic was an equally extraordinary woman whose own life was as full of adventure and wonder as any of her fictional creations.
In this biography, Madeleine's granddaughters, Charlotte Jones Voiklis and Lena Roy, draw on their intimate knowledge of their grandmother and her work to paint a vivid portrait of her life and legacy. From her childhood in New York City to her years as a young writer struggling to find her voice, from her groundbreaking success with A Wrinkle in Time to her continued writing and activism in her later years, Madeleine's story is one of resilience, creativity, and unwavering belief in the power of the human spirit.
As we delve into Madeleine's life, we discover a woman who was ahead of her time in many ways. She was a feminist writer who challenged traditional gender roles and explored the complexities of female identity. She was also a pioneer in the field of science fiction, writing stories that explored the intersection of science, religion, and philosophy. And through her beloved characters, such as Meg Murry and Calvin O'Keefe, she inspired countless young readers to embrace their own imaginations and to believe in the impossible.
But Madeleine's impact extended far beyond her writing. She was also a vocal advocate for social justice, environmental protection, and interfaith dialogue. Through her work with the National Council of Churches, she traveled the world, speaking out against war, poverty, and discrimination. And through her books, she taught children the importance of empathy, compassion, and respect for all living creatures.
Madeleine L'Engle was a truly remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on the world. Her books have sold millions of copies and have been translated into over 30 languages. She has received numerous awards and accolades, including the Newbery Medal, the National Book Award, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. But more than any award or honor, Madeleine's legacy lies in the countless lives she has touched through her writing and her tireless advocacy for a more just and compassionate world.
In this biography, Charlotte and Lena invite us to join them on a journey through the extraordinary life of their grandmother. They share intimate details of Madeleine's childhood, her struggles, her triumphs, and her unwavering belief in the power of love and imagination. Through their eyes, we gain a deeper understanding of the woman behind the beloved books, and we are inspired to follow in her footsteps as we strive to make the world a more beautiful and meaningful place.
