"Pride of Her Sex"

Smith, Lucy Humphrey | May 22, 1929 issue

The article focuses on the book "Harriet Martinean: An Essay in Comprehension," by Theodora Bosanquet. It is strange that so important a personage as Harriet Martineau has escaped until recently the pursuit of biographers in search of a subject, and still more remarkable that her personality and achievements as a forerunner of the feminist movement are so little known. Miss Martineau's "Autobiography," written when she was old and ill, intended to explain and justify her life to her own satisfaction, did not do justice to her line and generous nature.
