Marchant, Bessie: The Adventurous Seven. v1. 4 Apr 2015
Bessie Marchant (1862–1941) was a prolific English writer of adventure novels featuring young female heroines. Marchant was born in Kent, and despite never leaving England herself, she wrote over 150 novels set in locations around the world. She wrote in the style of the Victorian adventure novel (even being called "the girls' Henty"), but challenged established gender roles by putting strong female characters in what was seen as a boys' genre.
Excerpt If you don’t believe what I say,” concluded the lecturer, “just come out to New South Wales and see for yourselves if I have not told you the plain, unvarnished truth; and I repeat what I have said before, that although it is no place for the idle rich, for the man or the woman who wants to work it is not to be beaten.” This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
