Mary Anne Evans 22 November — 22 December ; alternatively Mary Ann or Marian , known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She authored seven novels, including Adam Bede , The Mill on the Floss , Silas Marner , Romola , Middlemarch —72 , and Daniel Deronda , most of which are set in provincial England and known for their realism and psychological insight. Although female authors were published under their own names during her lifetime, she wanted to escape the stereotype of women's writing being limited to lighthearted romances.

She also wanted to have her fiction judged separately from her already extensive and widely known work as an editor and critic. Another factor in her use of a pen name may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny, thus avoiding the scandal that would have arisen because of her relationship with the married George Mary Ann Jackson January 14, — December 17, was an American child actress who appeared in the Our Gang short subjects series from to She was a native of Los Angeles, California.

During and , Seacole suffered a series of personal disasters. She and her family lost much of the boarding house in a fire in Kingston on 29 August She put her rapid recovery down to her hot Creole blood, blunting the "sharp edge of [her] grief" sooner than Europeans who she thought "nurse their woe secretly in their hearts".

Cruces was the limit of navigability of the Chagres River during the rainy season, which lasts from June to December. In , Seacole travelled to Cruces to visit her brother. Shortly after her arrival, the town was struck by cholera , a disease which had reached Panama in The rich paid, but she treated the poor for free. She eschewed opium , preferring mustard rubs and poultices , the laxative calomel mercuric chloride , sugars of lead lead II acetate , and rehydration with water boiled with cinnamon.

The epidemic raged through the population. Seacole later expressed exasperation at their feeble resistance, claiming they "bowed down before the plague in slavish despair". Towards the end of the epidemic, Seacole herself sickened but survived. Cholera was to return again: Grant passed through Cruces in July, , on military duty; a hundred and twenty men, a third of his party, died of the disease there or shortly afterwards en route to Panama City.

Despite the problems of disease and climate, Panama remained the favoured route between the coasts of the United States. Seeing a business opportunity, Seacole opened the British Hotel, which was a restaurant rather than an hotel. She described it as a "tumble down hut," with two rooms, the smaller one to be her bedroom, the larger one to serve up to 50 diners.

She soon added the services of a barber. As the wet season ended in early , Seacole joined other traders in Cruces in packing up to move to Gorgona. She records a white American giving a speech at a leaving dinner in which he wished that "God bless the best yaller woman he ever made" and asked the listeners to join with him in rejoicing that "she's so many shades removed from being entirely black". If it had been as dark as any nigger's, I should have been just as happy and just as useful, and as much respected by those whose respect I value.

In Gorgona, Seacole briefly ran a woman-only hotel. In late , she travelled home to Jamaica. The journey was delayed and difficult when she encountered racial discrimination while trying to book passage on an American ship. She was forced to wait for a later British boat. Her memoirs state that her own boarding house was full of sufferers and she saw many of them die.

Although she wrote, "I was sent for by the medical authorities to provide nurses for the sick at Up-Park Camp ," she did not claim to bring nurses with her when she went. She left her sister with some nurses at her house, went to the camp about a mile, or 1. Seacole had read newspaper reports of the outbreak of war against Russia before she left Jamaica, and news of the escalating Crimean War reached her in Panama. She determined to travel to England to volunteer as a nurse, [52] to experience the "pomp, pride and circumstance of glorious war" as she described it in Chapter I of her autobiography.

The majority of the conflict took place on the Crimean peninsula in the Black Sea and Turkey. Many thousands of troops from all the countries involved were drafted to the area, and disease broke out almost immediately. Hundreds perished, mostly from cholera.

Hundreds more would die waiting to be shipped out, or on the voyage. Their prospects were little better when they arrived at the poorly staffed, unsanitary and overcrowded hospitals which were the only medical provision for the wounded. In Britain, a trenchant letter in The Times on 14 October triggered Sidney Herbert , Secretary of State for War , to approach Florence Nightingale to form a detachment of nurses to be sent to the hospital to save lives.

Interviews were quickly held, suitable candidates selected, and Nightingale left for Turkey on 21 October. Seacole travelled from Navy Bay in Panama to England, initially to deal with her investments in gold-mining businesses. She then attempted to join the second contingent of nurses to the Crimea. She applied to the War Office and other government offices, but arrangements for departure were already underway.

In her memoir, she wrote that she brought "ample testimony" of her experience in nursing, but the only example officially cited was that of a former medical officer of the West Granada Gold-Mining Company. Seacole finally resolved to travel to Crimea using her own resources and to open the British Hotel. Business cards were printed and sent ahead to announce her intention to open an establishment, to be called the "British Hotel", near Balaclava, which would be "a mess-table and comfortable quarters for sick and convalescent officers".

They assembled a stock of supplies, and Seacole embarked on the Dutch screw-steamer Hollander on 27 January on its maiden voyage, to Constantinople. He wrote her a letter of introduction to Nightingale. Seacole visited Nightingale at the Barrack Hospital in Scutari, where she asked for a bed for the night, because she intended to travel to Balaclava the next day to join her business partner. In her memoirs, she reported that her meeting with Nightingale was friendly, with Nightingale asking "What do you want, Mrs.

A bed was then found for her and breakfast sent her in the morning, with a "kind message" from Mrs. A footnote in the memoir states that Seacole subsequently "saw much of Miss Nightingale at Balaclava," but no further meetings are recorded in the text. After transferring most of her stores to the transport ship Albatross , with the remainder following on the Nonpareil , she set out on the four-day voyage to the British bridgehead into Crimea at Balaclava.

Lacking proper building materials, Seacole gathered abandoned metal and wood in her spare moments, with a view to using the debris to build her hotel. The hotel was built from the salvaged driftwood, packing cases, iron sheets, and salvaged architectural items such as glass doors and window-frames, from the village of Kamara, using hired local labour. An early visitor was Alexis Soyer , a noted French chef who had travelled to Crimea to help improve the diet of British soldiers. He records meeting Seacole in his work A Culinary Campaign and describes Seacole as "an old dame of a jovial appearance, but a few shades darker than the white lily".

It included a building made of iron, containing a main room with counters and shelves and storage above, an attached kitchen, two wooden sleeping huts, outhouses, and an enclosed stable-yard. Seacole sold anything — "from a needle to an anchor"—to army officers and visiting sightseers.

Despite constant thefts, particularly of livestock, Seacole's establishment prospered. They were closed at 8 pm daily and on Sundays. Seacole did some of the cooking herself: To Soyer, near the time of departure, Florence Nightingale acknowledged favourable views of Seacole, consistent with their one known meeting in Scutari. Soyer's remarks—he knew both women—show pleasantness on both sides.

Seacole told him of her encounter with Nightingale at the Barrack Hospital: When I passed through Scutari, she very kindly gave me board and lodging. Seacole often went out to the troops as a sutler , [70] selling her provisions near the British camp at Kadikoi, and attending to casualties brought out from the trenches around Sevastopol or from the Tchernaya valley. On one occasion, attending wounded troops under fire, she dislocated her right thumb, an injury which never healed entirely.

She is always in attendance near the battlefield to aid the wounded and has earned many a poor fellow's blessing. Seacole made a point of wearing brightly coloured, and highly conspicuous, clothing—often bright blue, or yellow, with ribbons in contrasting colours.

French troops led the storming, but the British were beaten back. By dawn on Sunday 9 September, the city was burning out of control, and it was clear that it had fallen: Later in the day, Seacole fulfilled a bet, and became the first British woman to enter Sevastopol after it fell. Her foreign appearance led to her being stopped by French looters, but she was rescued by a passing officer. After the fall of Sevastopol, hostilities continued in a desultory fashion. Seacole was joined by a year-old girl, Sarah, also known as Sally.

Soyer described her as "the Egyptian beauty, Mrs Seacole's daughter Sarah", with blue eyes and dark hair. However, there is no evidence that Bunbury met Seacole, or even visited Jamaica, at a time when she would have been nursing her ailing husband. Peace talks began in Paris in early , and friendly relations opened between the Allies and the Russians, with a lively trade across the River Tchernaya. Seacole was in a difficult financial position, her business was full of unsalable provisions, new goods were arriving daily, and creditors were demanding payment.

The evacuation of the Allied armies was formally completed at Balaclava on 9 July , with Seacole " Her contribution to the welfare of the British troops in the Crimea is summed up by sociology professor Lynn McDonald: Mary Seacole, although never the 'black British nurse' she is claimed to have been, was a successful mixed-race immigrant to Britain.

She led an adventurous life, and her memoir of is still a lively read. She was kind and generous. She made friends of her customers, army and navy officers, who came to her rescue with a fund when she was declared bankrupt. While her cures have been vastly exaggerated, she doubtless did what she could to ease suffering, when no effective cures existed. In epidemics pre-Crimea, she said a comforting word to the dying and closed the eyes of the dead. During the Crimean War, probably her greatest kindness was to serve hot tea and lemonade to cold, suffering soldiers awaiting transport to hospital on the wharf at Balaclava.

She deserves much credit for rising to the occasion, but her tea and lemonade did not save lives, pioneer nursing or advance health care. After the end of the war, Seacole returned to England destitute and in poor health. In the conclusion to her autobiography, she records that she "took the opportunity" to visit "yet other lands" on her return journey, although Robinson attributes this to her impecunious state requiring a roundabout trip. She arrived in August , and considered setting up shop with Day in Aldershot , Hampshire, but nothing materialised.

However, creditors who had supplied her firm in Crimea were in pursuit. She was forced to move to 1, Tavistock Street, Covent Garden in increasingly dire financial straits. At about this time, Seacole began to wear military medals. These are mentioned in an account of her appearance in the bankruptcy court in November Robinson says that one is "apparently" a Sardinian award Sardinia having joined Britain and France in supporting Turkey against Russia in the war.

However, no formal notice of her award exists in the London Gazette , and it seems unlikely that Seacole was formally rewarded for her actions in Crimea; rather, she may have bought miniature or "dress" medals to display her support and affection for her "sons" in the Army. Seacole's plight was highlighted in the British press. She moved from Tavistock Street to cheaper lodgings at 14 Soho Square in early , triggering a plea for subscriptions from Punch on 2 May. Further fund-raising kept Seacole in the public eye. In May she wanted to travel to India, to minister to the wounded of the Indian Rebellion of , but she was dissuaded by both the new Secretary of War, Lord Panmure , [91] and her financial troubles.

However, production costs had been high and the Royal Surrey Gardens Company was itself having financial problems. When eventually the financial affairs of the ruined Company were resolved, in March , the Indian Mutiny was over. A page autobiographical account of her travels was published in July by James Blackwood as Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands , the first autobiography written by a black woman in Britain. She avoids mention of the names of her parents and precise date of birth. A short final "Conclusion" deals with her return to England, and lists supporters of her fund-raising effort, including Rokeby, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar , the Duke of Wellington , the Duke of Newcastle , William Russell, and other prominent men in the military.
