Sarah Flower Adams

SFA was a poet, a contributor to periodicals, and a hymn-writer. Over the course of her career she published a dramatic poem, a catechism for children, and fourteen hymns. Her uncollected works include numerous poems, short stories, and essays published in various periodicals. Emerging from the politicised Unitarian intellectual ferment of the 1830s, much of her writing dealt with working-class issues, as well as social acculturation, and gender equity.
