Autorenporträt

Ada Cambridge was an English-born Australian writer, born on November 21, 1844, in Saint Germans, United Kingdom. She immigrated to Australia, where she became a significant literary figure, producing over 25 works of fiction, three volumes of poetry, and two autobiographical works. Many of her novels were serialised in Australian newspapers but were never published as standalone books. Her literary career spanned decades, reflecting both her personal experiences and her observations of societal dynamics. Cambridge married Rev. George Frederick Cross in 1870, and they had five children, one of whom was Dr. K. Stuart Cross. She spent much of her life in Melbourne, where she passed away on July 19, 1926, at the age of 81. Her work remains an important part of the literary history of Australia, contributing significantly to the cultural and social landscape of the time. While her fame was largely confined to Australia during her lifetime, her writing offers valuable insight into the experiences of women and the challenges they faced in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
