Autorenporträt

Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett was an English female author who lived from 1846 to 1930 and was also known as Mrs. George Corbett. Her most famous book is New Amazonia: A Foretaste of the Future (1889). He was born on August 16, 1846, in Standishgate, not far from Wigan. Mary, who was born Marsden, and Benjamin Corbett were her parents. Her dad worked at a forge, and she went to a good school. Corbett was a reporter for the Newcastle Daily Chronicle and a well-known author of books about society and adventure. A lot of her books started out as serials in magazines and were never turned into books. In June 1889, Mrs. Humphry Ward's open letter "An Appeal Against Female Suffrage" was published in The Nineteenth Century. It was signed by over one hundred other women who were against giving women the right to vote in Parliament. Corbett wrote and released New Amazonia because she was angry about this "most reprehensible act of betrayal ever committed against women by women." However, New Amazonia was not the only book by hers that talked about women's roles in society. It was the most overtly feminist.
