Ida G. Athens

Ida G. Athens

Ida G. Athens (23 February 1882 - November 1977) was the author of a collection of poetry titled "Brethren".

Born Ida Bird Gerding in Cleves, Ohio, she came from a poor German-American family.

She was included in the "Who's Who of African American Writers" because of her candid comments upon racial tension in the United States, perhaps inspired by her own low socio-economic background. She also was influential in selecting the geranium as Ohio's state flower.
