Gertrude Potter Daniels (c. 1876 – July 12, 1940) was an American novelist.
She was the daughter of steel magnate Orrin Woodward Potter. Her sister Margaret Horton Potter also became a novelist.
Her novel Halamar (1900) was about an actress who marries into a wealthy New England family.[1] Her novel The Warners (1901) centers on Cyrus Warner, an orphan who works his way up to owning an oil well, but is pressured by monopolistic magnates. The novel also focuses on poor working conditions, as well as a married pair of anarchists, Kirby and Ira Fisher, the latter modeled on Emma Goldman. Kirby throws a bomb at a demonstration, aiming at police but instead killing his own wife and child.[2][3]
