Autorenporträt
British social theorist, author, and journalist Harriet Martineau (1802-1876) is renowned for her important contributions to literature, sociology, and economics, among other subjects. Martineau was born in Norwich, England, on June 12, 1802, and had to overcome obstacles at a young age because he was deaf and had little money. In the 1820s, Martineau started her creative career and became well-known for her novels and children's books. She is most recognized, nevertheless, for her revolutionary contributions to political economy and sociology. She was one of the first sociologists because of her "Illustrations of Political Economy" series, which she wrote in the 1830s and used fiction to tackle difficult economic and social themes. Martineau overcame obstacles relating to gender during her career, but her brilliance and dedication to social justice endured. She made a lot of trips later in life and kept writing about a variety of subjects, including her experiences in the Middle East. Beyond her own century, Harriet Martineau left a lasting impact on feminists and sociologists of later generations.
