Description

Mary Augusta Ward CBE was a British novelist who wrote under

her married name as Mrs. Humphry Ward. She worked to improve education for the

poor and she became the founding President of the Women's National

Anti-Suffrage League. Ward began her career writing articles for Macmillan's

Magazine while working on a book for children that was published in 1881 under

the title Milly and Olly. This was followed in 1884 by a more ambitious, though

slight, study of modern life, Miss Bretherton, the story of an actress. Ward's

novels contained strong religious subject matter relevant to Victorian values

she herself practiced. Her popularity spread beyond Great Britain to the United

States.
