Mary Cholmondeley, 1859-1925 Cholmondeley found liberation from her family responsibilities in her writings. In 1877, she wrote in her journal, "What a pleasure and interest it would be to me in life to write books. I must strike out a line of some kind, and if I do not marry (for at best that is hardly likely, as I possess neither beauty nor charms) I should want some definite occupa-tion, besides the home duties." She went on to write more than 15 novels.
