}}Kate Langley Bosher (February 1, 1865 – July 27, 1932) was an American novelist from Virginia, best known for her novels Mary Cary (1910) and Miss Gibbie Gault (1911).[1]

Early years and education

Kate Langley was born in Norfolk, Virginia to Charles H. and Portia V. Langley in 1865. She graduated from the Norfolk College for Young Ladies in 1882.

Career

She married Charles Gideon Bosher in 1887. She was an "ardent suffragist", actively involved in relief work during World War I, and also worked for orphans' welfare.[1]

Mary Cary was adapted to film in the 1921 silent feature Nobody's Kid starring Mae Marsh (as Mary), Kathleen Kirkham, and Anne Schaefer.

Bosher died in Norfolk on July 27, 1932, less than a year after her husband, and buried in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. They did not have any children.[2]

The 2006 reference work Southern Writers: A New Biographical Dictionary describes Bosher's work as "sentimental and romantic; her characters are lively and their adventures amusing."[2]
