Marie Louise Hamilton Mack, born on October 10, 1870, in Hobart, Australia, was a renowned poet, journalist, and novelist. She is most famous for her role as the first female war correspondent in Belgium during World War I in 1914. Her work as a journalist during the war, particularly her firsthand accounts of the conflict, marked her as a pioneering figure in Australian literary and journalistic history. Mack's education at Sydney Girls High School laid the foundation for her literary career, which spanned across poetry, fiction, and war correspondence. She used her writing to convey the emotional and social toll of war, offering unique perspectives on the hardships faced by civilians and soldiers. Her book A Woman's Experiences in the Great War is a testament to her experiences in Belgium during the war. Mack's contributions to literature and journalism made her an important figure in both Australian and international circles. She passed away on November 23, 1935, in Mosman, Australia, leaving behind a legacy of insightful and compassionate writing, especially in relation to the human impact of war.
