Isabella Fyvie Mayo (December 10, 1843 - May 13, 1914) was a Scottish poet, and novelist who also wrote under the pen name Edward Garrett. Born as the youngest child of Scottish parentage in London in 1843, Isabella was privately educated at a girl's school near Covent Garden. With the help of friends she published poems and stories, using the pseudonym ''Edward Garrett''. In 1870 Isabella married John Ryall Mayo, a solicitor, who died in 1877, leaving her with one son. She spent most of her life living in Aberdeen. In Aberdeen, she was the first woman elected to a public board. Her "home was an asylum for Asian Indians."〔Philip Dray, At the Hands of Persons Unknown: The Lynching of Black America, at 85 (Modern Library 2003).〕 She died on May 3, 1914, of cancer. == Publications == *''Occupations of a Retired Life'' (1868) *''The Crust of the Cake'' (1869) *''Seen and Heard'' (1871) *''Premiums paid to Experience'' (1872) *''Crooked Places'' (1873) *''By Still Waters'' (1874) *''Doing and Dreaming'' (1876) *''Not by Bread Alone'' (1890) *''Her Day of Service'' (1892) *''A Black Diamond'' (1893) *''Rab Bethuene's Double'' (1894) *''A Daughter of the Klephts'' (1897) *''A Nine Days Wonder'' (1898) *''Other People's Stairs'' (1898) *''Crystal Joyce'' (1899) *''Recollections of Fifty Years'', autobiography (1910) 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「Isabella Fyvie Mayo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
