About this person
May Sinclair was the pseudonym of Mary Amelia St. Clair, a British writer who wrote about two dozen novels, short stories and poetry. She was an active suffragist, and member of the Woman Writers' Suffrage League. She once dressed up as a demure, rebel Jane Austen for a suffrage fundraising event. Sinclair was also a significant critic in the area of modernist poetry and prose, and she is attributed with first using the term 'stream of consciousness' in a literary context, when reviewing the first volumes of Dorothy Richardson's novel sequence Pilgrimage (1915-1967), in The Egoist, April 1918. She is known for her novels Life and Death of Harriett Frean (1922) and Arnold Waterlow: a Life (1924).
