All my old affection for her, all my old respect for her sincerity, came back in a flood on my heart. The bitterness of the past was swept away; only its tenderness in the ideal remained. I forgot her high religious contempt for my lower moral nature, her doubt and disbelief, her reproach and opposition; and I saw her only in her own best form--faithful, enduring, real--one worthy of respect, and by her sex to be surrounded with that kind of protection which means honour and includes love.

Autorenporträt
Eliza Lynn Linton was born on February 10, 1822, in Keswick, United Kingdom, to John Linton and Elizabeth Linton. She became the first female salaried journalist in Britain, marking a significant achievement for women in the field of journalism. Linton was also a prolific writer, having authored more than 20 novels, as well as a wide range of essays and short stories. Her work spanned the Victorian period, and she often explored themes of social and gender issues in her writing. Despite her pioneering role as an independent woman, Linton's personal views were somewhat contradictory; while she gained prominence as a successful writer and journalist, many of her essays took an anti-feminist stance, expressing reservations about the evolving role of women in society. Her career included writing for various publications, and she became known for her strong opinions on societal norms and gender roles. In 1858, she partnered with William James Linton, an engraver and writer, with whom she had a long relationship. Linton continued to write until her death on July 14, 1898, in Westminster, London, leaving behind a legacy as both a trailblazer for women in journalism and a controversial voice on gender issues.
