Ada Cambridge (1844–1926), an English-born Australian writer, stands as a significant figure in nineteenth-century literature. Born in Norfolk, she became a prolific author after moving to Australia in 1870 upon marrying George Frederick Cross, an Anglican clergyman. Her literary contributions, which often reflect upon the experiences and challenges of life in Australia, have secured her a place within the colonial Australian literary canon.

Cambridge's writing style elegantly weaves narrative with her astute observations, capturing the intricacies of social norms and the evolving identity of a nation. She utilized her literary platform to advocate for gender equality and social reform, themes prevalent within her body of work. Her oeuvre also includes poetry and fiction, with notable titles such as 'A Marked Man' and 'The Three Miss Kings', that showcase her narrative dexterity and commitment to exploring the female perspective within her cultural context.
