Autorenporträt

Ellice Hopkins (1836-1904) was a Victorian social reformer and writer, renowned for her advocacy on the moral welfare of young men and the empowerment of women. Hopkins was born in England, during an era marked by the burgeoning feminist movement and progressive ideals. Her work 'The Power of Womanhood, or Mothers and Sons' (1899) reflects her commitment to these causes. In this text, she explores the pivotal role of women in shaping the moral compass of society, specifically through their influence on their sons. Hopkins's literary style is didactic and impassioned, reflecting the moral urgency of her social reform initiatives. She believed that mothers had the profound responsibility and capacity to instil virtue and integrity in the future generation, thereby uplifting the moral fabric of society at large. Her work in literature paralleled her active involvement in social campaigns, particularly in fighting against the sexual exploitation of women and children which led to the formation of the White Cross Army, an organization aimed at promoting sexual purity. Hopkins's contributions to literature and social reform during the Victorian era have rendered her an influential, if somewhat overlooked, figure in the history of women's rights and advocacy. Her literary endeavors, like 'The Power of Womanhood,' continue to resonate as historical artefacts of feminist thought and social concern in the context of 19th-century Britain.
