Autorenporträt
Victoria Cross was the pen name of Annie Sophie Cory (1868-1952), a bold and unconventional British author who challenged Victorian moral norms with her provocative and emotionally intense fiction. Writing during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Cross was a prominent figure in the "New Woman" literary movement, which championed female independence, sexual autonomy, and resistance to patriarchal constraints. Educated in Europe and widely traveled, Cross infused her works with a cosmopolitan spirit and often set her stories in exotic or colonial locales. Her novels frequently featured strong, passionate women navigating complex emotional and social terrains-unafraid to defy societal expectations in pursuit of love, truth, or self-expression. Her best-known works include Anna Lombard, Six Women, and Five Nights, all of which stirred public discourse with their exploration of taboo subjects such as interracial relationships, female desire, and gender roles. Though controversial in her time, Cross was praised for her courage and literary innovation, earning both a wide readership and critical attention. Victoria Cross remains a significant voice in feminist literary history, remembered for her daring themes and progressive outlook on womanhood, identity, and freedom.
