Clemence Housman
Clemence Housman (1861–1955) was a British author, illustrator, and political activist, best known for her contributions to literature and the suffrage movement. She is remembered for her feminist allegorical novella "The Were-Wolf" (1896), a haunting tale blending supernatural elements with gender themes.
