Julia Constance Fletcher

Standard Name: Fletcher, Julia Constance
JCF, or George Fleming, a US national, lived a cosmopolitan life in which her literary activity was largely centred in England during the period 1875-1908. She began with short fiction for magazines, and moved on to novels, short fiction, and then to plays. She lived as a New Woman, but her writings, mostly comedy and satire, depict the high cost of rigid social custom (poverty, class structures, systemic anti-feminism) with apparent detachment rather than overt protest. Occasionally, however, a strong feminist voice breaks through.
