Margaret King
Margaret King (1773–1835), also known as Margaret King Moore, Lady Mount Cashell and Mrs Mason, was an Anglo-Irish hostess, and a writer of female-emancipatory fiction and health advice. Despite her wealthy aristocratic background, she had republican sympathies and advanced views on education and women's rights, shaped in part by having been a favoured pupil of Mary Wollstonecraft. Settling in Italy in later life, she reciprocated her governess's care by offering maternal aid and advice to Wollstonecraft's daughter Mary Shelley (author of ''Frankenstein'') and her travelling companions, husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and stepsister Claire Clairmont. In Pisa she continued the study of medicine which she had begun in Germany (cross-dressing for the purpose, as universities were restricted to men) and published her widely read ''Advice to Young Mothers'', as well as a novel, ''The Sisters of Nansfield: A Tale for Young Women.'' Childhood Margaret King was born into the Anglo-Iris ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
