CROSS, Victoria

CROSS, Victoria
   Pseudonym under which UK novelist Annie Sophie ("Vivian") Cory (1868-?1952) published all her work, using the spelling "Crosse" until the death of Queen Victoria; she was briefly notorious for The Woman who Didn't (1895), written in response to Grant ALLEN's The Woman who Did (1895). Her only known sf is Marty Brown, M.P.: A Girl of Tomorrow (1935), which depicts relationships in a 30th-century UK ruled by women: unemployment, war and pollution do not exist, nor is meat eaten, and there is no prostitution because love is free.
