(English pronunciation of the last name, which is also the name of a village in the West Midlands of England, a bit south of Liverpool, is "Chumley.")
English writer, mentee of Rhoda Broughton (and aunt of novelist Stella Benson), now best known as the author of Red Pottage, a novel of social critique (filmed in 1918). This novel is one of the more well-known expressions of the New Woman movement in England in the 1880s and 1890s — a social and cultural movement urging greater female autonomy that is disparaged by Bram Stoker in Dracula.
Includes brief discussion of Red Pottage and some materials related to Cholmondeley's professional efforts. [Women in the Literary Marketplace 1800-1900, Cornell U Library]
