Amber Blanco White (Amber Reeves ) (1 July 1887 – 26 December 1981) was a British feminist writer and scholar. ==Early life== Reeves was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, the eldest of three children of Fabian feminist Maud Pember Reeves (née Robison; 1865–1953) and New Zealand politician/social reformer William Pember Reeves. The family moved to England in 1896, where her father became New Zealand's agent-general. Her widowed aunt, cousins, 'and attendants' joined the household in Cornwall Gardens, Kensington. 'London was hateful after New Zealand', she said. 'No freedom. No seashore. Streets, streets, streets. Houses, houses' (Harrison and White, 10267). Amber Reeves attended Kensington High School until 1904, and then travelled to Europe to become fluent in French. Her father was not fully converted to the higher education of women; when he gave her the choice between being presented at court and going to the University of Cambridge, she chose Cambridge. Reeves then began studying at Newnham College in 1905. It is unlikely her father raised further opposition as he always spoke highly of her academic achievements.〔''Maude & Amber'', Ruth Fry, University of Canterbury Press, 1992. pp.35, 44–58, 82–91, 99–121〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amber Reeves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
