Diarist (anonymous)

Throughout the 1880s Mary kept a personal diary of social and literary stories of the people she knew and met. She preferred to conduct her observations anonymously, and the diary was never published in her lifetime. Her reminiscences were heavily drawn upon by her friend Lucy B. Walford in a 1912 memoir in which she is referred to simply as "Mary". Shortly after Mary's death in 1921 the diary was published, still anonymously, as ''Echoes of the 'Eighties: Leaves from the Diary of a Victorian Lady''. The identification of Mary Ward as the author of the diary was unknown until 2018 when an online article, about the diary's description of
