Interplay

Beatrice Harraden (1864-1936) was a British writer and suffragette. She travelled extensively in Europe and the United States and in 1893 found fame with her debut novel, Ships That Pass in the Night. Harraden involved herself greatly with the women's rights movement, joining the Women's Social and Political Union, the Women Writers' Suffrage League and Women's Tax Resistance League and publishing her work in the suffragette paper Votes for Women. This involvement is reflected in much of her fiction. Amongst her other works are Master Roley (1889), In Varying Moods (1894), Untold Tales of the Past (1897), Katharine Frensham (1903), The Scholar's Daughter (1906), Interplay (1908) and Youth Calling (1924).
