Poet, philanthropist, feminist. Pseudonyms: “A. A. P.,” “Mary Berwick,” “Miss Berwick.” Member of the Langham Place group.

Submitted poems regularly to Household Words under the pseudonym Mary Berwick, so that Dickens would not accept her work because of his friendship with her father, Bryan Waller Procter; Dickens discovered her identity late in 1854 (Lohrli 404-5).
