She completed school through the eighth grade then attended night school in hopes of becoming an illustrator a goal she never achieved . Instead she began working as a stenographer a job she held on and off for the rest of her life. In 1909 Bennett married Stewart Bennett a British journalist and explorer and moved to Philadelphia. A year later her husband died while on an expedition. With a new-born daughter to raise Bennett continued working as a stenographer. When her father died in 1916 Bennett assumed care for her invalid mother. During this time period Bennett began to write a number of short stories and novels only stopping when her mother died in 1920. In the mid 1920s she moved to California. Because Bennett was estranged from her daughter for a number of years researchers believed Bennett died in 1939 the date of her final letter to her daughter . However new research including her death certificate shows that she died in 1948.
