Dale, Alice Mary

Summary

Dale was born at Sheffield, England and came to Australia with her husband in the 1880s. She was a contributor to Household Words and All the Year Round and the author of four novels. The first of these, With Feet of Clay (1895), was a partly Australian tale, praised in the Pall Mall Gazette for its portrayal of a 'really splendid blackguard' and in New Zealand's Evening Post for powerfully addressing the important political issue for women of differing marriage laws between England and the colonies.
