Mr Sutherland died when Elinor was three months old, and her mother returned to Canada with her daughters (Elinor’s elder sister Lucy later became famous as the couteriere Lucile, and infamous, along with her husband Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon, for surviving the sinking of the Titanic).
In 1892, Elinor married landowner Clayton Glyn, but the marriage proved to be unhappy, partly due to his infidelity and partly because they did not have a son, although the marriage produced two daughters, Margot and Juliet.
Soon after her marriage, Glyn came under the patronage of Daisy, Lady Brooke (later the Countess of Warwick), who was at that time the mistress of the Prince of Wales.

 Glyn, Elinor Criticism and Essays
Although the marriage provided her with the prestigious social connections she desired, she was not happy with her husband, who did not provide her with either the emotional satisfaction or the economic support she needed, and so she turned to a career in writing.
Because of her incomplete education, Glyn never mastered basic rules of grammar and style, and so even her most well-received works were noted for their popular appeal rather than their literary quality.
Glyn's works are no longer widely read, but critics observe that Three Weeks remains noteworthy for having played a significant role in breaking down sexual censorship barriers in post-Victorian English literature.

Elinor Sutherland Glyn who began her literary career as a British fashion writer in 1898 achieved notoriety in 1907 with Three Weeks - a steamy romance novel which was shocking for its time.
At the height of her fame Glyn was thought of as a "daring love analyst" and called herself "a high priestess of the God of love." By the time of her death in 1943, however, her work was considered "old fashioned" -- an indication of how much social attitudes had changed in thirty years.
She begged me to let her publish it and said it would do infinite good in the world, but I said it would damn me before my time and I didn't wish to be useful to the world on such expensive conditions.

in a word, "It." And if we're still not sure what "It" is, there's a moment of high camp hilarity when matronly author Elinor Glyn, who penned the original definition of "It," strides through the movie and delivers herself of its meaning.
One of the most popular writers of the roaring 20s was "Madame" Elinor Glynn--a middle-aged and decidedly matronly-looking woman who fancied herself as the arbiter of all things pertaining to sex-appeal.
It was a put-up job, of course, with Madame Glyn handsomely paid (and given a cameo appearance in the movie) for her trouble.
