Rosina Bulwer-Lytton

Rosina Bulwer -Lytton (born Rosina Doyle Wheeler, * November 4, 1802 in Bally Wire, Ireland, † March 12 1882 in Upper Sydenham, London) was an English novelist and feminist.

Life

She was the daughter of the writer and advocate of political rights for women Anna Doyle Wheeler and Francis Massey Wheeler from Limerick and the wife of writer Edward Bulwer- Lytton, whom she in her autobiography Blighted Life (1866 ) as "her trampler and her tyrant " designated. Since she was opposed openly against her husband, she was housed by this during his election campaign in 1858 in a mental hospital; They were divorced later. She wrote extraordinarily successful novels in which she sat over against their forced role as a Victorian wife to defend himself and, making fun of significant male contemporaries, especially her husband.

She was the mother of Emily Elizabeth Bulwer- Lytton (June 17, 1828 - April 29, 1848 ) and Robert Bulwer- Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton (November 8, 1831 - November 24, 1891 ), the viceroy of British India from 1876 to 1880.
