Gertrude Stein was the youngest child of 5 children, born on February 3, 1878. Her parents were Daniel and Amelia Stein, upper middle class, who resided in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. When she was three years old the family moved to Vienna and then on to Paris before returning to America returning to.°

Her father moved the family to Oakland, California. “Her brother Leo, 2 years

Later she received his reply, “Dear Miss Stein, I entirely agree with you and I think you are a very sensible person. Of course you obtained the highest possible marks on your philosophy paper.” (Muir, )

Stein’s greatest success came when she wrote The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. It not only upheld her “writer’s writer” style of writing but made her rich and famous, and she reveled in it. Her greatest failure would be her inability to keep long term friends. Her loss of her closest friends was her greatest failure, and in the end her closest and most well known friends, except Alice, were abandoned. Alice was with her till the end. In 1946 she was diagnosed with cancer. She was operated on, but they could not save. On her death bed, with Alice by her side, still out of it from the surgical drugs Stein asked, “What is the answer?” Alice was silent, and then Stein said, “In that case, what is the question?” Those were her last words, as she slipped into a coma and died on July 27, 1946. And as Alice said after Stein’s death, “I am nothing, but a memory of her.”

Leo went away to Harvard, and Stein missed him so much that she entered the nearby Radcliffe College in 1893. She took took courses in psychology and philosophy growing a strong relationship to her philosophy teacher William James a strong relation to her.° James once told her “I hope you will pardon me if I recognize some of the features of my ideal student as your own,” (Ellensplace). During her finals she left a note to Mr. James saying, “ Dear Mr. James, I am very sorry, but I have been to the opera 5 nights this week, and it is such a beautiful day that I could not possibly answer these questions.”
