  A Daughter of the Snows (1902) is Jack London's first novel. Set in the Yukon, it
  tells the story of Frona Welse, a Stanford graduate and physical Valkyrie who
  takes to the trail after upsetting her wealthy father's community by her forthright
  manner and befriending the town's prostitute. She is also torn between love for two
  suitors: Gregory St Vincent, a local man who turns out to be cowardly and
  treacherous; and Vance Corliss, a Yale-trained mining engineer.
  The novel is noteworthy for its strong and self-reliant heroine, one of many who
  would people his fiction. Her name echoes that of his mother, Flora Wellman,
  though her inspiration has also been said to include London's friend Anna Strunsky.
  Modern commentators have criticized the novel for its approval of the main
  character's view that Anglo-Saxons are racially superior.
