J. K. Rowling: Inspired a New Generation of Readers
Newly divorced and struggling to make ends meet, single mom Joanne Rowling turned to work on the novel she had been outlining for five years. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was published in 1997 under the name "J.K." Rowling—her publisher didn't believe a woman's name would appeal to young boys. Six books and 10 years later, Harry Potter has shattered sales records and enthralled millions of reader of all ages.
