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.
