Fanny Aikin Kortright

FAK , writing through the later half of the nineteenth century, was primarily known as a sensation novelist. Her books were regularly noticed, though not flatteringly, in the Athenæum. Her first publication was a volume of poetry, and she also edited a journal (to which she contributed) and published anti-feminist polemic. She issued several titles privately, and the last of them, a privately-printed autobiography, is extremely rare.
