Autorenporträt

Evelyn Sharp, born to James Sharp and Jane Sharp on August 4, 1869, in London, was an influential British author and pacifist who became a prominent voice in the women s suffrage movement. She began her career as a journalist and writer, producing fiction for both children and adults, often highlighting social issues and the constraints placed on women. As her activism deepened, she became involved with the Women s Social and Political Union and later helped found the United Suffragists, where she took on a leadership role. During World War I, she served as editor of the publication Votes for Women, maintaining its operation even during the politically volatile wartime period. Sharp's commitment to nonviolence shaped her approach to activism, distinguishing her voice among suffragists who often faced internal debates over strategy. Her writing, both literary and journalistic, reflected a blend of idealism and realism, tackling injustice while envisioning a more equitable society. Throughout her life, she maintained strong connections with other reformers and writers of her time, solidifying her place as a crucial figure in both literature and social change. She died in Ealing, London, on June 17, 1955, at the age of 85.
