Margaret Atwood
出生: November 18, 1939 – Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Margaret Atwood is a Canadian novelist, poet, and essayist known for exploring power, gender, environmental crisis, and dystopian futures.

传记与作者历程
Margaret Atwood was born in Ottawa in 1939 and grew up in northern Ontario, Quebec, and Toronto, in a childhood divided between city life and the Canadian bush. That environment mattered: her father’s scientific work kept the family close to forests and fieldwork, and Atwood’s writing later retained that habit of exact observation, even when her subjects became surreal, comic, or dystopian. She studied at Victoria College at the University of Toronto, earned a master’s degree from Radcliffe College, and also pursued graduate study at Harvard. From the start, her formation was both literary and analytical, grounding a career that would move easily across poetry, fiction, essays, and criticism.
