May Sinclair (1863–1946), poet, translator, critic, fiction writer, woman’s suffrage advocate, and co-founder of a pioneering psychoanalytic clinic, was one of the most popular female British novelists of the early twentieth century. Her twenty-four novels include Mary Olivier: A Life and The Three Sisters.
Francine Prose’s most recent book is The Lives of the Muses: Nine Women & the Artists They Inspired. A contributing editor at Harper’s, she is the author of ten books of fiction, including Blue Angel, a 2000 National Book Award finalist.
