Story0
Amelia married in the spring of 1798 to the artist John Opie at the Church of St Marylebone, in Westminster, and together they lived in Berners Street where Amelia was already living. Her next novel in 1801 'Father and Daughter', was very popular even though it dealt with such themes as illegitimacy, a socially difficult subject for its times. From this point on published works were far more regular. The following year her volume 'Poems' appeared and was again very popular.

Story0
Amelia Alderson, an only child, was born on the 12th November 1769 in Norwich, England. Encouraged by her husband to write more she published Adeline Mowbray in 1804, an exploration of women's education, marriage, and the abolition of slavery. Of particular interest was her short poem ‘The Black Man's Lament’ in 1826. Her life now was in the main spent travelling and working for charities and against slavery. She even helped create a Ladies Anti-Slavery Society in Norwich which organised a parliamentary petition of 187,000 names of which hers was the first name.
