Hallo,
wie schon am Titel ersichtlich suche ich Infos zu Howey, Mary Gertrude Oldfield eine englische Autorin.
Ich weiß sie wurde am 19.08.1882 in Yorkshire geboren.
Sie ist unter anderem Autorin von „Die Katze in Magie, Mythologie und Religion“
Vermutlich habe ich nur falsch gesucht, aber ich bin für jede Info dankbar.
Tschau

Vermutlich war sie die ältere Schwester der Suffragette Elsie Howey:

Zitat:
_Howey, (Rose) Elsie Neville (1884–1963), suffragette, was born at Finningley, Nottinghamshire, on 1 December 1884, the daughter of Thomas Howey (1851/2–1887), rector of Finningley, and his wife, Emily Gertrude (née Oldfield). Following Thomas Howey’s death, the family moved to the Malvern area which remained Elsie’s home for life. Although details of her childhood are sparse, Elsie was educated to a good standard, and in 1902 enrolled in St Andrews University for a standard arts degree course, taking classes in English, French, and German. For unspecified reasons she did not complete her studies, but left in 1904 to travel to Germany. Here ‘she first had occasion to realise women’s position’ and determined to work to improve it (Votes for Women, 18 June 1908).
In December 1907 Elsie encountered the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) campaigning in a by-election at Ross. With her mother and elder sister Marie (Mary Gertrude Oldfield Howey; 1882–1967) she joined the union. Both Howey girls embraced militant tactics and were arrested and gaoled in February 1908 when, with other suffragettes, they hid inside a pantechnicon and were ‘delivered’ into the House of Commons.
