About the author
Born Ethel Duncan in 1856, she became known as Ethel Romanes, an English writer and religious activist. She married the biologist George John Romanes in 1879, and after his death edited and wrote The Life and Letters of George John Romanes, the book most often linked with her name.
Her writing also included works such as Charlotte Mary Yonge: An Appreciation and The Story of Port Royal, showing an interest in both literary biography and religious history. Accounts of her life consistently describe her as active in church causes as well as in writing.
She died in 1927. A suitable confirmed portrait was not clearly available from the page I could verify, so no profile image is included here.
