Vera Mace

Vera Mace, also recorded as Vera Chapman Mace, was a British writer and marriage counsellor born in 1902. Reliable catalog and authority records identify her as an English or British writer, and her published work shows a strong, sustained interest in relationships, family life, and social questions.

She is especially associated with books written with her husband, David Mace. Their collaborative works include The Soviet Family and later titles on marriage enrichment, clergy marriages, Christian marriage, and relationships in later life. Across those books, her writing appears rooted in both counseling experience and a wish to make serious family issues understandable to general readers.

Although she does not seem to have a widely available mainstream biographical profile online, the record that emerges is of an author who helped bring discussions of marriage and family into a more practical, reader-friendly form in the mid to late twentieth century. Because I could not confirm a suitable high-quality portrait from the pages I checked, I’ve left the image field empty.
