Autor

Charlotte Lennox was a Scottish writer, critic, and intellectual who made a significant impact on literature during her lifetime. Born in Gibraltar in 1720, she moved to London where she established her career as a writer and cultural critic. Known for her sharp intellect and literary abilities, she earned praise for her works, particularly her novel The Female Quixote, which remains her most famous piece. Lennox was recognized for her keen insights into the societal roles and expectations placed upon women, as reflected in her works. Alongside her novels, she also wrote plays, including The Sister, and contributed to literary and cultural discourse of her time. Lennox lived much of her life in London, where she continued to write and engage with the literary world until her death in 1804 at the age of 84 in Westminster. Her legacy continues to resonate, especially in her exploration of the intersections between romance, society, and gender. She was born to an officer in the British Army, but further details about her parents remain less documented.
