Gene Stratton-Porter (1863-1924), a famous American author, photographer, and naturalist, was born Geneva Grace Stratton. She was known for depicting the nature of Indiana's wetlands-- an underappreciated and quickly disappearing landscape Gene so treasured. Her novels were some of the best selling of the time and funded her less popular non-fiction work: contributing greatly to the early environmentalist movement.

Additionally, there is a "Geneva, Indiana", in which Stratton-Porter lived for a time. The town was not, however, named for her-- it was called "Geneva" after a local railstation (which was, in turn, likely named after a settler's hometown in Switzerland) and incorporated as such 13 years before Stratton-Porter moved there. Still, it is highly associated with the author today.

Gene Stratton-Porter was also called "Geneve" as an occasional nickname until adulthood.

She was posthumously inducted into the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame in 1989.
