Flora Annie Steel

    2. April 1847 – 12. April 1929

    Flora Annie Steel war eine englische Schriftstellerin, deren Werke tief in ihren umfassenden Erfahrungen während des Lebens in Indien, hauptsächlich im Punjab, verwurzelt sind. Ihr intimes Engagement mit allen Schichten der indischen Gesellschaft, gepaart mit ihren Rollen als Schulinspektorin und Sammlerin von Volksmärchen, bot ihr eine einzigartige Perspektive auf das lokale Leben und die Kultur. Steels Engagement für die Bildung von Frauen und ihre Unterstützung lokaler Handwerkskünste flossen in ihre Schriften ein, mit dem Ziel, europäischen Lesern eine authentische Darstellung des indischen Lebens zu bieten. Ihre Prosa ist durchdrungen von einem tiefen Verständnis der Traditionen und alltäglichen Sorgen der Menschen, denen sie begegnete.
