Joan London (1901–1971) was the eldest daughter of Jack and Bess London, his first wife. She was the author of Jack London and His Times, a biography of her father. Her other works include Sylvia Convtry, Jack London and his Daughters[1] (an unfinished memoir), and So Shall Ye Reap: The Story of César Chávez & the California Farm Workers Movement (co-authored by Henry Anderson)[2]. She died of throat cancer in 1971, at the age of 70[3]. She was cremated; her son was instructed to throw her ashes into the ocean, but could not bring himself to do it, and so buried them in Yosemite.
