Sarah Grand (1854-1943)

‘To be true to life should be the first aim of an author’

Born: Frances Bellenden Clarke in Ireland, 1854.
Married: Chambers McFall, a widowed army surgeon, 1871. They had one son.
Travels: She travelled to the Far East & lived in England.
Career: a writer and an public speaker, she coined the phrase 'New Woman' in a political article entitled: ''The New Aspect of the Woman Question."
Unlike male writers of the time, Grand aimed to merge ART and REALITY. This is most evidently seen in her semi-autobiographical work The Beth Book (1897).
