Today, she’s published sixteen novels, seventeen collections of poetry, as well as collections of essays, short stories, and children’s books. Throughout the next decades Atwood taught writing at various Canadian universities, while writing prolifically and becoming widely acclaimed. After graduating from the University of Toronto in 1961, Atwood published some collections of poetry, followed by her first novel, The Edible Woman. However, she became an avid reader at a young age, and by her teenage years, she was determined to become a professional writer. Because her father was an entomologist frequently conducting field research, Atwood spent much of her childhood in the wilderness of Quebec, only attending school sporadically (an unusual lifestyle that reemerges in her novel Cat’s Eye). The second of three children, Margaret Atwood was born in 1939 in Ottawa.
