About the Author

بيتي سميث (1896-1972) هي كاتبة أمريكية وُلدت في بروكلين لأبوين مهاجرين ألمانيين. واجهت صعوبات كبيرة في طفولتها، لكنها استخدمت تجاربها كإلهام في كتاباتها. رغم عدم إنهائها التعليم الثانوي، تمكنت من الالتحاق بالجامعة حيث صقلت مهاراتها في الأدب والصحافة. كتبها تتناول موضوعات تتعلق بالفقر، العائلة، والأمل، وقد نالت شهرة واسعة بفضل روايتها "شجرة تنمو في بروكلين" التي نُشرت في عام 1943. حازت سميث على جوائز عدة، وتُعتبر من أبرز الكاتبات الأمريكيات في القرن العشرين. تُوفيت في عام 1972، وتركت وراءها إرثًا أدبيًا غنيًا يعكس تجارب الحياة والتحديات التي واجهتها.
