Lily Dougall (1858–1923) was a Canadian writer[1] and feminist.[2]
Biography
Her debut novel, Beggars All, was published in 1892 followed by nine other novels.[3] Her contemporaries thought her novels were "well-received" and they have "been widely read far from the shores of her native land".[4] She also did write a novel prior to Beggars All, Lovereen, A Canadian Novel, that was published under a male pseudonym.[1] She also published one volume of short stories and eight books of religious philosophy.[3] Four of Dougall's novels have Canadian settings spanning from western British Columbia to Eastern Quebec to Atlantic Prince Edward Island.[5] What Necessity Knows, The Zeitgeist, The Mermaid: A Love Tale and The Madonna of a Day: A Study.[6] Her fiction is characterized by twists of fate, disguise, hidden identity and disillusioned love.[5] More noteworthy, however, her work is known for its exploration of religious and philosophical themes.[3] Many of her protagonists are strong, independent females who are typically drawn to the idea of egalitarian marriage.[5]
