Born on April 4, 1828, in Wallyford, Scotland, she gained considerable recognition in the Victorian era, contributing more than 120 works of fiction and non-fiction over her career. Mrs. Oliphant's literary style often intertwined the themes of gender, class, and the supernatural, allowing her to effectively address the roles and challenges of women in her time through subtle social commentary.
