Elizabeth Von Arnim
Née en 1866 en Australie sous le nom de Mary Annette Beauchamp, **Elizabeth von Arnim** est une romancière anglo-allemande, cousine de la célèbre écrivaine Katherine Mansfield. Après avoir épousé un aristocrate prussien, elle s’installe en Allemagne puis en Suisse, où elle écrit plusieurs romans marqués par une critique acerbe des conventions sociales et une sensibilité féministe. *La Femme du pasteur*, publié en 1914, est l’un de ses ouvrages les plus emblématiques, mêlant satire et tendresse pour décrire l’étouffement des femmes dans des rôles imposés.
