1908

Gertrude Tonkonogy Friedberg (17 March 1908 – September 17, 1989) was an American playwright and writer.

Gertrude Tonkonogy was born in New York in 1908 as one of 11 children.

1933

After graduating from Barnard College with a B.A. in 1929, Tonkonogy made her first professional sale with the play Three Cornered Moon which was produced on Broadway (opening March 16, 1933) and starred Ruth Gordon and Brian Donlevy.

It was almost immediately made into a film of the same name starring Claudette Colbert; the film opened in August 1933.

Shortly after her success with the play, Tonkonogy married Charles K. Friedberg, a doctor.

1958

Between 1958 and 1972, Friedberg published three science fiction stories, and one science fiction novel, The Revolving Boy (1966).

The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction characterizes the novel as a "minor classic in the field."

It would be Friedberg's only novel.
