Autor

Victoria Cross, the pen name of Annie Sophie Cory, was born on October 1, 1868, in Rawalpindi, British India. She was the daughter of Colonel Arthur Cory and Fanny Elizabeth Griffin. A British author, Cory is best known for her provocative novels that often challenged Victorian social norms, especially those surrounding female sexuality, independence, and societal constraints. Her works, including Anna Lombard (1901), Six Women (1906), and Life's Shop Window (1907), explored complex romantic and sexual relationships while critiquing the restrictive nature of the time. Through her writing, she contributed significantly to the early exploration of feminist themes and challenged the era s oppressive standards. A prolific author with over 20 novels and numerous short stories, Victoria Cross left behind a legacy of works that continue to be studied for their bold approach to women's issues and societal critique. She led a private life, never marrying and spending much of her time traveling. This gave her the opportunity to draw inspiration from different cultures, which is evident in the varied settings of her novels. She passed away on August 10, 1952, leaving a lasting impact on literature.
