Elizabeth Robins

    Elizabeth Robins était une actrice, dramaturge, romancière et suffragette dont les œuvres littéraires offraient une critique féministe pénétrante, en partie informée par le réalisme psychologique d'Ibsen. Elle acquit une renommée pour un roman célèbre explorant les thèmes du suffrage féminin, qu'elle adapta ensuite en une pièce de théâtre révolutionnaire. Cette œuvre dramatique fut la première à porter la politique de rue du mouvement des suffragettes sur scène, déclenchant une vague de productions théâtrales similaires. Les expériences de Robins lors de la recherche de son frère disparu en Alaska fournirent également l'inspiration pour des romans explorant les thèmes de la perte et de la découverte dans la nature sauvage.
