Joan London (American writer)

Joan London (January 15, 1901 - January 18, 1971) was the eldest of two daughters born to Jack and Bess London, his first wife. One sibling, sister Bessie, was born on October 20, 1902. Both children were born in Piedmont, California. Joan 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.^[3]
