Ginevra King

Ginevra King was a wealthy American socialite from Chicago in the early 20th century. She is best known for being a significant influence on the novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, who based the character of Daisy Buchanan in his famous novel *The Great Gatsby* on her. King’s affluent background and romantic relationship with Fitzgerald during their youth helped shape themes of wealth, class, and longing in his writing. Though she did not pursue a literary career, her life and social circle offer insight into the American upper class of that era.
