Eliza Macauley : ウィキペディア英語版 | Eliza Macauley Eliza Wright Macauley (1785?–1837) was an actress and socialist writer who campaigned on women's issues and financial reform. ==Early life== Eliza Wright was born into poverty in York, probably in 1785. Her father died when she was only two, leaving his family destitute. According to her sketchy autobiographical memoirs, Macauley's first career was as an actress. She began by performing in barns in Kent, but by 1805 she had moved to London, where for the next twenty years she went from one low-paid and badly-reviewed theatrical production to another. Eventually a long period of unemployment forced her to depart the stage, leaving in a flurry of tracts denouncing the selfishness of her more illustrious male colleagues and the philistinism of the metropolitan theatre owners. Nothing daunted, she immediately began to turn her performing talents in other directions. The late 1820s found her preaching from the pulpit of a little ‘Jacobinical’ chapel in Grub Street, and from there she moved to the platforms of Owenite co-operation, becoming, in her own words, a ‘good Co-operative woman’.
