Autorenporträt
Bessie Marchant (1862–1941) was a prolific British author, renowned for her adventure novels that often featured intrepid heroines thriving in challenging environments. Her literary career spanned the late Victorian era into the early 20th century, and she became one of the foremost writers for young female readers during that time. Marchant's narratives embodied the qualities of courage, independence, and resourcefulness, reflecting the evolving roles and aspirations of women in society. One of her notable works, 'By Honour Bound', is illustrative of Marchant's narrative style, emblematic of the moral and physical fortitudes her characters exhibit. Her books were not only stories of adventures but also subtle vehicles for the values of loyalty, honour, and determination.

She was committed to the idea of providing young women with strong female protagonists at a time when such representations were far from commonplace.
