Beschreibung

In Victorian England, Amelia B. Edwards was an iconic cultural figure, admired by the public her best-selling fiction and for her witty, thought-provoking travel writing. In later life, she became a celebrated historian, bringing fresh understanding of Ancient Egypt to a fascinated public and founding the Egyptian Exploration Fund (Society).
Unearthing forgotten sources, this book tells the story of her unconventional life - her travels, travails and feminist activism. A figure ahead of her time, it examines her involvement in suffrage and animal rights and reveals new insights into Edwards' loving same-sex relationships with Ellen Rice Byrne and Lucy Renshaw.
