Born in Hodnet, Shropshire, as one of eight siblings, Cholmondeley's upbringing amongst rural gentry ignited an early interest in literature. Self-educated and resolute in pursuing her literary ambitions, her experiences provided a rich source of material for her novels which often intertwine themes of gender, class, and social reform. Her incisive engagement with late-Victorian society marked her as a progressive writer during her period, and her works reflected the nuanced positions of women navigating hierarchical structures of power. Significant in her oeuvre is 'The Lowest Rung' alongside other works such as 'Red Pottage', which gained her critical acclaim for its bold narrative style and insightful social commentary.

Her literary contributions remain powerful reflections on the tensions between personal freedom and social constraint, resonating with readers irrespective of era.
