Althea Gyles
Althea Gyles (1868 – 23 January 1949) was an Irish poet and artist. She is known for her book cover designs for writers such as W. B. Yeats.
==Early life==
Margaret Alethea Gyles was born in 1868 at her family home, Kilmurry, County Waterford. George Gyles, her father, was from a promient Anglo-Irish family, and according to W. B. Yeats were "so haughty that their neighbours called them the Royal Family." Her mother, Alithea Emma Gyles, was the daughter of the Bishop of Hereford, Edward Grey. The family moved to Dublin in 1889.〔 Gyles severed ties with her family, and reportedly supported herself by selling a watch and writing a few stories for an Irish paper. At this time she attended an art school on St Stephen's Green. Due to her poor living conditions and poverty, E. J. Dick invited her to live in the "household", a theosophical commune at 3 Ely Place. Others living in there were Dick's wife and George Russell. When W. B. Yeats joined the household in 1891, he described her as "a strange red-haired girl, all whose thoughts were set upon painting and poetry." Gyles fought with the Dicks, returning to "starvation and misery () had a large share in her ritual of worship." While living at 53 Mountpleasant Square, she wrote an unpublished novel, ''The woman without a soul'', the plot of which focuses on a black magician.
