Emily Spender (1841–1922) was an English novelist and suffragette.

Biography

Spender was born in 1841 in Bath, England.[1] She was cousin of the diarist Henry Crabb Robinson and sister-in law of radical publisher William Saunders, who placed her brother Edward Spender into a position as editor of the Western Morning News.[2] She was the great aunt of Stephen Spender, the British poet.[3]

Spender published her first two novels anonymously, first a conventional novel Son and Heir (1870), and then the feminist novel Restored (Hurst & Blackett, 1871), which was dedicated to Lilias Sophia Hallett the leader of the Bristol society for women's suffrage.[2] Spencer went on to write more novels including Kingsford: A Novel (1866), True Marriage (1878), Until the Day Breaks (1886), and A Soldier for a Day: A Story of the Italian War of Independence (1901).[1]

In 1871 she was the honorary secretary of the Bath committee of the National Society for Women's Suffrage (NSWS). She was also part of the executive committee of the Central committee of the NSWS.[2]

Spender died in 1922.[1]

gollark: Latency probably wouldn't be *awful* if it ran on the same device as the Minecraft world, but it would probably still be a bit slow.
gollark: Wait, no, you already said something about "while event.pull()" or something being bad, never mind. I can't think of alternatives other than having the data reader thing only send data when it gets a message requesting it, or bringing in an HTTP server or something to store everything, but those would also both not be efficient.
gollark: Ah. Hmm. Make it pull from the queue a bit faster than the other end sends messages?
gollark: You would still get a massive backlog if you didn't read it at the same speed it was sent, but you could use the linked cards to send it directly/only to the one computer which needs it really fast.
gollark: You would still have to spam and read messages very fast, but it wouldn't affect anything else.
