Personal lifeFrances Mossiker was born in Dallas, Texas on April 9, 1906. She attended the Hockaday School.[2] She was then a student at Smith College but not allowed to continue as a student after eloping with her first husband at sixteen. She then went to Barnard College in New York, was Phi Beta Kappa in her junior year and graduated in 1927. She also studied at the Sorbonne in Paris, becoming fluent in French.[1] Mossiker's first marriage lasted until 1929 and in October 1935 she remarried to Jake Mossiker.[3] She eventually earned a Doctorate of Letters from Southern Methodist University in 1972.[4] Frances lived in Dallas most of her life but spent much of her time traveling to Paris, London, and New York City. She remained in Texas until her death on May 9, 1985.[5] CareerMossiker began her career not as a writer but as a book reviewer for the Dallas Morning News in 1933.[5] Her reviews of books were done on her own segment on KGKO Fort Worth, "Woman's World". She also did her book reviews for the Dallas Morning News.[3] It was not until later in life, at the age of fifty five that she began to write her own novels. Frances focused on historical nonfiction with a specialty in 17th and 18th century France.[1] Her choice of subject matter made it necessary for Frances to travel around the world for extensive research and her unique style, lacking personal interpretations make her books unbiased and purely fact based.[6] In her lifetime Mossiker produced five novels.
