Patricia Clapp
Patricia Clapp (June 9, 1912 – December 10, 2003) was an American writer of fiction for children and young adults. Her first novel, Constance: A Story of Early Plymouth (1968) is based on the life of her forbear Constance Hopkins - a passenger on the Mayflower. It was nominated for the National Book Award in 1969.Her second book, Jane-Emily (1969) was described by Sarah Lyall in The New York Times nearly 50 years after its publication as "one of the great children’s ghost stories, featuring a nasty little dead girl who is not at all pleased when a good little living girl comes to stay in her old house."
Most of Clapp's novels were written as fictionalized accounts of historical events. Dr. Elizabeth: The Story of the First Woman Doctor (1974) focuses on the life of Elizabeth Blackwell who was the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States. I'm Deborah Sampson: A Soldier in the War of the Revolution is loosely based on the life of Deborah Sampson, a young woman who disguised herself as a man and served in the 4th Massachusetts Regiment during the Revolutionary War.
