error: constructor is private

litte question:

here is the class:

class Author 
{

    Author(const std::string& name, const std::string& email, Gender gender);
    Author& setName(const std::string& name);

private:
    std::string a_name;
    std::string a_email;
    int a_gender;
}

and i don't know why, he is write the next error:

error: 'Author::Author(const string&, const string&, Gender)' is private|

but it is defently constructor, so what is privet for him so he can't get acsses?

Access in a class defaults to private:, not public:.

This:

class Author 
{

    Author(const std::string& name, const std::string& email, Gender gender);
    Author& setName(const std::string& name);

Should be:

class Author 
{
  public:
    Author(const std::string& name, const std::string& email, Gender gender);
    Author& setName(const std::string& name);
