About the author
May Sinclair, whose real name was Mary Amelia St. Clair, was a prolific writer and a significant figure in the early 20th century literary world. Born on August 24, 1863, in Cheshire, England, she was not only a novelist but also a poet, critic, and an active member of the woman suffrage movement. Sinclair's work often intersected with her intellectual interests in philosophy and psychoanalysis, and she is credited with introducing the term 'stream of consciousness' to the literary lexicon in her review of Dorothy Richardson's novels (Blunt, 2002). In her own writing, Sinclair explored themes of female autonomy and identity, as seen in one of her most well-known works, 'The Three Sisters' (1914), which engaged with the internal lives and struggles of three sisters living in a repressive Victorian society. Her literary style often delved into psychological character studies and challenged traditional societal norms. Alongside her fiction, Sinclair's critical essays and philosophical writings contributed to the modernist movement. She published over twenty novels, two volumes of poetry, and numerous philosophical works before her death on November 14, 1946, in Buckinghamshire. Sinclair's contributions to literature and the women's suffrage movement remain a lasting part of her legacy (Raitt, 2000).
