Gloria D. Miklowitz Gloria D. Miklowitz

Last updated on: March 11, 2010

With a relentless concern about contemporary issues and problems that affect teenagers, Gloria D. Miklowitz has examined such topics as rape, suicide, teen marriage, divorce, AIDS, sexual abuse, and racial prejudice in her novels. She's helped teen readers look at underground militias, vigilantism, religious cults, steroid use among high school athletes, and the effects of nuclear war. She has enabled readers to view the famous battle of Masada from both sides. And she's written nonfiction on a variety of subjects, from earthquakes and raccoons to President Harry Truman, civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., and tennis star Tracy Austin. One wonders what subject she's going to examine next.
