Having gone to Rogers at the same time as Susie and growing up during that era, I know that females were not considered capable of writing serious works like The Outsiders. She didn't really have a choice in order to get it published.
S.E. Hinton wrote her books to show the struggles and realities faced by teenagers, particularly in the context of social class and identity. She aimed to provide a voice for teenagers who may feel misunderstood or marginalized, and to address issues such as violence, friendship, and family dynamics in a candid and impactful way.
many people would not read the Outsiders if they knew a woman wrote it. Most people would assume the author was a man if signed with S.E. Hinton.
No, SE Hinton did not write a book with Jodi Picoult. SE Hinton is known for her classic young adult novel "The Outsiders," while Jodi Picoult is a contemporary fiction author known for her novels that often tackle complex moral and social issues. Their writing styles and genres differ significantly.

No. S.E Hinton and Nigel Hinton are not related in fact S.E Hinton actually changed her name to S.E Hinton.
she books for young adults bcuz she was once a young adult
Hinton uses only her initials because her publishers were afraid people would think a woman couldn't write a good book. She came to like having a "public" and a private name, so she kept it.

S.E Hinton was the author, not a character.

S.E. Hinton's pen name is S.E. Hinton. She chose to use her initials rather than her full name, Susan Eloise Hinton, to appeal to a gender-neutral audience when she first started publishing her books.
Yes, SE Hinton is known to be Catholic. She has spoken about her faith in various interviews and it is reflected in some of her works as well.
Because she never had books about teenagers as she was growing up.
