The Immortal Moment

Mary Amelia St. Clair, known as May Sinclair, was a prominent British writer and suffragist, recognized for her novels, short stories, and poetry. An advocate for women's rights, she creatively engaged in activism, famously dressing as Jane Austen for a fundraising event. Sinclair made significant contributions to modernist literature, notably coining the term "stream of consciousness" in her critique of Dorothy Richardson's work. Her literary influence and commitment to social causes mark her as a key figure in early 20th-century literature.
