Much of her work focused on class and gender issues in Glasgow society during the early 20th century.[1] Early lifeAllan was born in Denny, the only child of Jean Luke and Alexander Allan, an iron merchant. Her parents were affluent and middle-class, and she was privately educated before attending classes at the University of Glasgow. After her father's death, and while she was still a young woman, Allan and her widowed mother moved to the west end of Glasgow.[1] She was described as a petite woman with a soft voice and a retiring disposition who hosted elegant afternoon teas.[2] Writing careerAllan enjoyed attending the theatre and began her writing career as a playwright.[1] She later became a prolific freelance writer and journalist who had articles and short stories published regularly in a range of newspapers and periodicals. Despite finding both popular and critical success during the 1920s and 1930s, Allan abandoned her writing during both world wars in order to focus on nursing and charity work. After the Second World War, she continued to write, but her later works are regarded as less notable.[2] Allan was a member of the Scottish PEN[1] and she used the organisation to distribute some of her inheritance to help financially support the work of other writers.[7] She interviewed Sarah Bernhardt when she visited Glasgow. Notable worksAllan published ten novels in total,[1] including:
