She was the youngest daughter of a civil engineer, Douglas Southerland, and his wife Elinor Saunders. Elinor Glyn began her writing career in 1900 and was a pioneer of the risqué and romantic fiction genre. She went on to write many popular books such as ''Beyond the Rocks'' (1906), ''Love''s Blindness'' (1926), and ''It'' (1927), in which she coined the term ''It'', meaning the animal magnetism that some individuals possess.
